Why not write
1 to: 10000 do: [:x | ios print: x; cr]

I don't know the difference between print: and nextPutAll:,
Select "print:", press Cmd-m.
but cr
didn't put the correct line ending for Windows, and it still seems
equally slow.
Well, that's about as fast as you get without specific optimizations.
Most probably Perl uses a C function for formatting numbers, Squeak
does not. If this is mission-critical for your app it can be
optimized, but in general we choose flexibility over raw speed.
