Hi Damien,
Because of the attached Message Tally outputs I don't think the problem is specific to changes I've made to an image. I also don't think that there is much differnece between Eliots vm or the pharo ppa vm. The Message Tally outputs are from profiling the UI while finding the senders of #setUp using various VM & image combinations. On squeak finding the senders of #setUp seems instantaneous. On Pharo it takes multiple seconds to find and display the senders.
ouch! So may be we have a regression in an iteration.
It may be my expectations are different than they should be.
No I do not see why sender would take ages.
Is the result from the pharo ppa vm + pharo 2 image similar to what you're seeing on the 32bit Ubuntu?
Thanks for looking into this. For what its worth I'm using a 5 yr old Dell D630 laptop with an 3GB of ram and a 120 GB SSD. I've also attached the output from /proc/cpuinfo
Please let me know if there are other things I should check.
Paul

I've recently installed Pharo 1.4 & 2.0 on a laptop I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 and using both Eliot's vm for Pharo 1.4 and the pharovm from the Ubuntu PPA. The UI is incredibly slow with it sometimes taking 1 second to switch windows when they are clicked or > 8 seconds to find the senders/implementors of a method. Is there something I can check to see what the problem may be?
cat /proc/cpuinfo shows that the CPU is running at the high frequency.
I'm also using 13.04 (but mine is 32bits). I can *not* reproduce your problem with the VM on the PPA. Just to be sure, I sent new versions of the packages to the https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/stable/ PPA this morning. They will be ready in a few hours.
Is there anything special with your image?
