Hi Laurent,

Here a problem report concerning your VM (http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeak-vm/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-bin.tar.gz) from a Ubuntu 64bit user.

His machine:

(k)ubuntu karmic x64
Linux toat 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Pulseaudio: 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4.1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU, 950 ��@ 3.07GHz

The first problem he had was that the VM segfaulted. He then disabled psdsp in the startup script. This fixed the crash and sound worked (Beeper beep).

His tinyBenchmark results are:

582811610 bytecodes/sec; 15102233 sends/sec
562946673 bytecodes/sec; 16346261 sends/sec
583475783 bytecodes/sec; 16404381 sends/sec
589522164 bytecodes/sec; 16288551 sends/sec
570791527 bytecodes/sec; 16389812 sends/sec
527835051 bytecodes/sec; 14646769 sends/sec
590201729 bytecodes/sec; 16288551 sends/sec
586483390 bytecodes/sec; 16231248 sends/sec
590542099 bytecodes/sec; 16259849 sends/sec
542085759 bytecodes/sec; 14763943 sends/sec

...compared to a 3.9-8 #1 Tue Jan 13 16:33:40 UTC 2009 gcc 4.3.3 VM:

580828133 bytecodes/sec; 18995358 sends/sec
539515279 bytecodes/sec; 17677135 sends/sec
552617377 bytecodes/sec; 17865371 sends/sec
588167719 bytecodes/sec; 19129213 sends/sec
579185520 bytecodes/sec; 18947146 sends/sec
585812356 bytecodes/sec; 16785105 sends/sec
545551411 bytecodes/sec; 18164300 sends/sec
577226606 bytecodes/sec; 19227754 sends/sec
587155963 bytecodes/sec; 19080321 sends/sec
580498866 bytecodes/sec; 18815817 sends/sec

The new VM is slower on sends/sec, but the really astonishing difference is not in the benchmarks but in the GUI performance. It is really slow. Just moving the mouse around on an empty world makes CPU consumption go up to over 70%! He didn't experience this problem with the old 3.9-8 VM.

Cheers,
Adrian
