Well, a contemporary look will always drive the computer harder...
Don't really find it a problem here though. Main PC is a 2.8MHzQuadCore, lappie is a 1.7MHz Centrino.
Guess you might benefit from faster hardware.
 
The SoftSqueak theme seems to be the fastest overall, curious since nicer looking than StandardSqueak (which is, essentially, a pass-through replication of the original code).
 
I guess a poll of some kind of benchmark for all on the list may be in order...
 
Thanks for the support.
 
Regards, Gary.

Gary: First of all, thanks for your excellent work.

I really like Polymorph and I use it as my default "theme". Very very impressive.

However, squeak seems to be a bit slower with it. For example, in SqueakDBX we are 4 developers. Two of them cannot use it because is slower enough to loose their patient.

I am still newbie in squeak so I really don't know the resasons of this. Perhaps this is a morphic thing and nothing about Polymorph. If this is the case, sorry.

Please, continue with your work. I really enjoy Polymorph and happy to be the default in pharo.

Cheers,

Mariano

Anything that anyone thinks could be improved?
Happy to consider things... just would be nice to have a central point for
moving forward with Polymorph (in particular) or other tools...

There is a possibility of open-source release of the PackageListTool

if there is any interest.
