[Pharo-project] Things i am working on now
- building VM on windows - updating VM configs to use new location of NB - fixes to NB for windows - more precise copying of machine code for primitive 220 , to copy exact machine code without extra garbage, so it can fail primitive and won't run random machine instructions - testing if everything builds with "PharoVMBuilder build" -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Igor I would like to try on my new machine because may be if there is a large difference with yours we can plan to buy one with an SSD and recycle yours. Does anybody have an idea if this is worth? Stef

Having an SSD? From my point of view, it's the best investment you can make in a machine these days. Cheers, Doru On Feb 8, 2013, at 9:12 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> wrote:

+1 I just added a mSATA SSD to my laptop (additionally to the HDD) and the speed improvement affects the whole system (I still don't understand why...) Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo

i don't know.. i think it won't work much faster because it is under virtual box anyways, which causing a lot of overhead.

btw, did you enable multiple cores in virtualbox for your windows slave?

Hm, maybe I missed something - you're running virtualbox on a drive, and you're thinking it won't work much faster on an SSD? I found the opposite (running Windows on VMWare Player) - using an SSD _vastly_ increased the performance of the VM. frank

psst.. you will leave me with no excuses for not working.. because i will be unable to say "its compiling" :) sure, if it makes a significant difference as you say.. i don't mind having it :)

Thanks igor. We all know that some work is boring :) and I appreciate that you spend time on it without losing your soul :). Keep your great work and keep some energy for the fun part too :). Stef
