I have just upgraded my macbook air to Mavericks and I noticed now that Activity Monitor has an energy tab that shows which apps consume most energy and Pharo is on No1 spot for idle apps. 1) Pharo - > 50-60% 2) Chrome (7 tabs open) -> 10% 3) Blender (3d app) -> 15% emacs, itunes , maps etc close to 0% The only way to compete with pharo is playback a youtube video that spikes energy to 80 or play a 3d game. I assume Morphic is quite heavy on resources.
