Hi, Usman got really interesting numbers in his work with moose and comparing 1.4 and 2.0 :) Esteban Begin forwarded message:

Benchmark: A spec browser displaying a list and text container(s).

List

TEXT Container 1

TEXT Container 2 ...

Text is a 2k lines file (no FileStreams involved).

execution time

Pharo 1.4

Pharo 2.0

With a single text container

17 secs

2.5 secs

With two text containers

143 secs

5 secs

With three text containers

221 secs

4.8 secs

So, things are going to be much better with Pharo 2.0. But we need to move asap to pharo 2.0 if we want to make text display faster.

I've attached the code, just in case.
