Thanks for the idea, I'll try emulating shotgun sequencing by increasing the sampling rate for short periods of time.
But a better alternative would be to enable and disable the simulator (context's runSimulated) for exact sequences (even if shorter, to avoid slowdowns). Is it possible with the current implementation?
The problem is that runSimulated is *very* slow as it interpretes bytecode using an interpreter written in Smalltalk. Maybe an idea would be to use some sampling that uses VM Support⦠I don't know much about it, though. See MessageTally and AndreasSystemProfiler.
It's not that I don't appreciate the ideas for the new reflection framework. but I'm looking for something to use for this project. And we have only a few weeks. Actually, the most important part is not the system integration but analyzing the structure of those message sequences (like word analysis in natural language processing).
Yes, I understand. We are working hard to improve the system⦠but it's a lot of work. Marcus
