Hi all, 2009/7/14 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com>:
Users don't know the details and they don't care. If they open a Pharo image and its slow, then this just gives a bad impression. If people start telling each other "Pharo is slow", we will loose reputation that is very hard to win back.

+1 to that.
I recommend Pharo to a lot of people that was using Squeak and this is the first thing they told me and the first thing that happens. It doesn't matter how many fixes you did, or closures or traits. If you open a browser and takes 1 seconds. You close it. You even don't see all of the real features. And as Andrian says, they doesn't know why it is slow, or how to have a faster Pharo . They don't know what to remove or whateever.
Please, we are loosing gays for this topic.
An guys too ;-)
So I suggest to either disable the features that make the browser slow so that it is snappy again or to replace it with the version Lukas is using until it is fast enough.
As I said, +999999999999999999999
