In the first example, you are making a single string with all A's of size 9000 repeated 500 times. In the second example, you are making 9000 strings with all A's of size 10000 repeated 500 times. Why? My bad, I misread and thought the code was using atAllPut: , like it should :) (that is, if its intent is to initialize a presized collection with default values)
MessageTally spyOn:
[ 500 timesRepeat: [ | str | str :=String new: 9000. str atAllPut: $A ]].
only takes a couple of milliseconds.
As for nextPut: vs nextPutAll:, that is to be expected. nextPutAll: is optimized for sizes> 1, on my machine it "catches up" when you surpass 4 characters added in each loop.
