The VM you use is the fastest one available.

It's slower mostly due to non Smalltalk concerns (processor architecture, energy consumption, frequency, overall hardware).��

There is an abstraction over the back-ends in the JIT and it could be that overall the JIT is a little bit more optimised for intel than for ARM. But I would guess that's a 20% difference at most, if difference there is.

That is no significant difference on a RPi 3, at all. Is this normal ? Am I missing something ?

Thx,

PS: Just for reference, my Mac Book Pro is 10 times faster

I had same experience with beaglebone
