Re: [Pharo-dev] Never ending BlockClosure>>benchFor:

Can you try the script below in the latest Pharo image and let me know how much does it take to execute on your machine: |duration benchmarkResult| 100 timesRepeat: [ RubScrolledTextMorph new model: (RubScrolledTextModel new setInitialText: '1+1'; yourself); beForSmalltalkScripting; yourself ] . duration := 100 milliSeconds. benchmarkResult := [ 100 factorial ] benchFor: duration. In my case it takes around 1 minute. The inner loop finishes immediately and then most time is spend executing the benchmark. At the end I get the following result: "a BenchmarkResult(2,060,386 iterations in 1 minute 7 seconds 498 milliseconds. 30,525 per second)" So the benchmark is executed for over one minute before the delay expires.
