Pharo really needs a huge speedup on the UI front. I am using a top of the line desktop system and still Pharo sometimes feels slow (some is due to algorithms - like the finder tool taking ages for a lot of things, but some is due to the UI system).
This is not linked to the VM, as the MVC projects in Squeak are uber fast.
Is the Text rewrite going to have an impact on this?
It doesn't feel slow, it is slow. Perfectly usable, though. I even feel it was faster before. But I think the problem comes from the "rendering" side, and not because of "not UI" operations running in the main thread. Regards,
