I've stuck a version (5.8b3) of the cocoa based os-x squeak cog JIT based VM in my experimental folder.

This VM is built from the Cog sources (with some minor changes for the iPhone) & revised & fixed Socket Plugin. It currently does NOT contain any external plugins. I did check in the changes to squeakvm.org that are required to build this VM excluding the required Cog changes...
People are invited to take it for a whirl, report any performance gains, issues and especially crashes.
I did a short test with Seaside. It did not crash and all tests are green. Rendering is about two to three times faster which seems to be in line with the performance gains other people report for other applications.
Cheers Philippe
I did some tests as well, very impressive indeed. I tested pharo-core 1.2 as well as a seaside image based on pharo 1.1 with Glorp and PostgreSQL: everything worked as expected. I did a quick benchmark on that last image: where I used to get 70 requests/second I now get 230 requests/second. This is really amazing. Thanks Eliot, John and everybody else who made this possible. I hope the linux VM is equally fast. Sven
