Hi,

machine: core duo 2.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM (White Macbook, 2007)
distribution: Archlinux
vm: exupery�� pharo-vm-0.15.1b-linux.zip
images: pharo0.1-10373dev09.07.2 and latest Pharo-Core

Pharo-Core: (System Browser)
- startup time: instantaneous
- navigate randomly in browser: 3% - 8% CPU usage
- find class OrderedCollection:�� ~10% CPU
- browse senders of add: time to open 1s, 21% CPU

Pharo-Dev: (Package Browser)
- statup time: 3s (cold start 5s)
- navigate randomly in browser: 9% - 15% CPU usage
- find class OrderedCollection:�� ~13% CPU
- browse senders of add: time to open 19s, 48% CPU

Now I'm using Pharo-Core with Luka's scripts (http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/ImageBuildScripts) as it's far more pleasant to use for me.
