Well, a contemporary look will always drive the computer harder... Don't really find it a problem here though. Main PC is a 2.8MHzQuadCore, lappie is a 1.7MHz Centrino. Guess you might benefit from faster hardware.
The SoftSqueak theme seems to be the fastest overall, curious since nicer looking than StandardSqueak (which is, essentially, a pass- through replication of the original code).
I guess a poll of some kind of benchmark for all on the list may be in order...
We used to measure GUI performance with the "Browser-Bench": time _ 0. saveMorphs _ self currentWorld submorphs. 5 timesRepeat:[ self currentWorld removeAllMorphs. "heh, heh" time _ time + (Time millisecondsToRun: [ 1 to: 10 do: [:i | Browser fullOnClass: SystemDictionary selector: #abandonSources]. self currentWorld submorphs do: [:m | m delete. self currentWorld doOneCycle]]). ]. self currentWorld addAllMorphs: saveMorphs. time/5 asFloat "print it" On my machine I get: Squeak 3.9: 3800ms Pharo #084: 2950ms Pharo #213: 5200ms #084 is before Polymorph was added and #213 is the most recent version. BTW, with OB: 8590ms. Cheers, Adrian
Thanks for the support.

Gary: First of all, thanks for your excellent work.
I really like Polymorph and I use it as my default "theme". Very very impressive.
However, squeak seems to be a bit slower with it. For example, in SqueakDBX we are 4 developers. Two of them cannot use it because is slower enough to loose their patient.
I am still newbie in squeak so I really don't know the resasons of this. Perhaps this is a morphic thing and nothing about Polymorph. If this is the case, sorry.
Please, continue with your work. I really enjoy Polymorph and happy to be the default in pharo.
Cheers,
Mariano

Anything that anyone thinks could be improved? Happy to consider things... just would be nice to have a central point for moving forward with Polymorph (in particular) or other tools...
There is a possibility of open-source release of the PackageListTool (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12018791@N06/2616669616/in/set-7215760165939325... ) if there is any interest.
