Actually one *can* make the linux VM faster than the MacOS one on the same hardware using just the right version of GCC. But frankly the *easiest* way of doing that is for Pharo to fund the yearly license for using the Intel Compiler and provide a one-click Intel compiler based VM.

but there are more. The MacOS VM is faster than the rest, even with the same PC. I have no idea how to improve Linux's one, thus.
