Basically, there may or may not be some issue with them not being noticed in the image, it hasn't been a priority since the Squeak image doesn't depend on it, and no-one have set aside the time to fix it. Not very hard really, just time-consuming and tedious checking you've hit all the points it has to be signalled.
I don't think that this is the problem with image being sluggy. It would feel sluggy from very beginning, not after you load a lots of stuff into image, isnt?
Yup, this was mainly to answer why Pharo doesn't use the InputSemaphore, a short detour which hopefully ends here. I don't have an image which has been running for 7 hours (non-core at least), and haven't experienced the slowdown reported myself, so didn't feel qualified to comment on that matter. Cheers, Henry
