Hi,

I�ve been working on prepare Pharo to run with the new Spur VM� and finally this week Guille and I sit together and make a huge advance :)
here a screenshot of pharo 4 running with spur: 

for more information, same image before migration, with a regular cogvm gives this numbers: '1297023432 bytecodes/sec; 161029354 sends/sec�, so that means that the tiny benchmarks run at 166% the speed of the old vm� 
Of course this is just one benchmark, but I�m very impressed :)
 
Now, it is still not usable but I�m confident I can put a jenkins job to work very soon :)

ps: before you start asking: Spur WILL NOT be available for Pharo3, it will be part of Pharo4.
