Speed is good, more speed is better. But my experience is that network drives are convenient (when they work), and otherwise slow and unreliable. Running a Smalltalk system over one is not something I would want to do for fear of losing the connection and therefore my work. Just my 2 asCents. Of course, it might be an interesting test case to profile to find a bottleneck.

Can you elaborate on what is slow? Is this only Pharo or also Squeak?
Anything that hits the changes file such as compiling or many MC operations. e.g. When you see the a popup saying "Snapshotting" it's time to go get something to eat. And yes, it affects Squeak too. The speed difference between running it on a local hard drive and a remote one is incredible.

Ok we will fix that for 1.0 right now we are not even in beta.
As a minor point, running Pharo on a network drive is *horrifically* slow so don't do that :)
