It�s 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. I�m not telling that Pharo is slow. Battery lasts longer with Safari compared to Chrome. Probably with Pharo it�s 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.

Now with Mavericks we can tell that Pharo is hungry for energy :)
