as Stef says, we are close, but not there yet. Iâm working on it and I hope to have something really soon. Esteban

Pharo has a new classbuilder with first class instance variables so the bootstrap took longer and doing so esteban and guille found bugs in Spur. So regularly but hidden from the fame, esteban goes over it. and we hope soon to have some images to beta testers.
My apologies if this is already spelled out somewhere and I simply can't find it, but are there any Spur images for Pharo yet? I can only find Squeak ones. It's not a big deal either way; I was just playing with an algorithm that, after very heavy optimization, I was able to get down to about 278ms per pass (from ~700ms initially from a naive implementation). For contrast, the equivalent Python runs in ~80ms. Looking at MessageTally, it seems at least half of that 278ms is spent noodling around in WideStrings and other small things that the Spur object format ought to help with, so it'd be interesting to see how much of a speed boost that gives without any further work. tell us more about your algo because we want to know.
