very good example and very informative thank you.

Sadly it also shows that even with Athens Pharo is incredible slow.

Simple animation spiking a single 3.2 Ghz core to 50% does not look very promising for heavy big size graphic based animations. Which is not a surprise since this was also evident the first time I tried the VGTiger demo. But still , its better than no Athens ;)

This is really good that you are diving into Athens. It deserves it!
