How can I test that? Really it feels sluggish when scrolling lists, autocomplete with Spotlight etc. Didn't have that with my 1.4. I am using a Mac with a Core2Duo CPU. RAM is of no concern (8GB). Phil 2013/2/13 stephane ducasse <stephane.ducasse@free.fr>:

Don't know if this is related but the 2.0 image seems to runs slower on my box (20543 now).
this is strange because people told me exactly the inverse yesterday (comparing to 1.4). So this is difficult to assess.

Also a question: why is there a ZnServer in the StartUpList ? I saw discussions on the loading of .changes if there is none in the image folder.

Is this related to that large list of [delaySemaphore wait] in Delay>>wait that I do see in the Process Browser? This thing wasn't so large in the past.
Let's hope so: it seems related, but we see it during startup (and subsequent crash) but also (sometimes) interactively in a working image.

My personal take about this issue:
- when image starting up, all Delays should be reset by unblocking all waiting processes (regardless how much extra time there left to be waiting).
Because, to my opinion, a code which uses delays to cross session boundaries will fail badly anyways, so imo it is better to have delays unblocked the process prematurely, rather than blocking it for next 2^30 milliseconds (or any random big number around that).
