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. It may be my expectations are different than they should be. 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 On 06/06/2013 12:31 AM, Damien Cassou wrote:

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?
