Itâs not about the thing that it uses 5% CPU. Apple does some magic with optimisation so they group threads in order to reduce power usage. And Pharo is not good at that. Iâm not telling that Pharo is slow. Battery lasts longer with Safari compared to Chrome. Probably with Pharo itâs something similar.

I would not worry too much over this. I have MenuMeters even before I was introduced to smalltalk over a year ago and Pharo is steadily reported consuming a 5% of my CPU which is average for an ObjC app on Macos 10.7

So personally I am impressed with pharo speed so far. A big thumbs up from me. Also take into account that even though MacOS is a great OS it comes with its own fair share of bugs, especially the first year of its release so I would not put too much attention into this if I was you.
