I doubt any plugin changes the performance of #tinyBenchmarks. But the following plugins make a huge difference in other benchmarks and GUI performance: - MiscPrimitivePlugin - LargeIntegers - FloatMathPlugin - FloatArrayPlugin - Matrix2x3Plugin - B2DPlugin
Are you sure about FloatMathPlugin? I haven't found any usage of it. Neither in Squeak 4.1 nor in Pharo 1.2.
Yeah, it's not used at the moment, but it if the primitives are used, then some codes get much faster without a JIT (I don't know if it's faster or slower with Cog). So, you're right, the current images don't need/use it. Therefore it doesn't make a difference. Levente
Thanks Stefan
