Our definitions of "deadly slow" may be different. I run Squeak on an
old iBook...
Machine Name: iBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook6,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
...with less memory than you have and find it more than fast enough.
What are you doing with Squeak?

Well we have almost identical iBooks (I have 256 MB more and an
updated CPU):
Machine Name: iBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook6,7
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
But I can not say it is more than fast enough. It might be that I was
a bit incorrect in my previous message, and I needed to title it
"Squeak CPU speed". But the sad story that I do almost nothing with
it, I'm just trying to use it figure out what it is. And I see that
GUI responsiveness is too low and the such basic operations as
changing a window size or moving it (with fastDragWindowForMorphic
disaibled) load CPU upto 100%. And after I've installed DejaVu fonts,
I need to wait upto 4 seconds everytime I change size of the
SqueakMap Package Loader window. Switching from the Class libraries
category to Development tools takes about 8 seconds.
Thanks,
Aleksandr
