I think it is not correct code for TxText. "text" variable contains Text
instance which should be converted to TxModel first. TxModel is replacement
of Text in TxText.
So my benches shows that TxText works better in Pharo:
text := Compiler evaluate: (FileSystem workingDirectory / 'text.st' )
readStream contentsOfEntireFile .
[100 timesRepeat: [(Paragraph new)
compose: text
style: TextStyle default copy
from: 1
in: ( 0@0 corner: 569@9999999)]] timeToRun . 236.
txModel := TxModel new.
cursor := txModel startSpan startPosition.
cursor insert: text.
[ 100 timesRepeat: [| m |
m := TxTextMorph new.
m layoutStrategy: TxWrapTextStrategy new.
m extent: 569@9999999.
m textModel: txModel]] timeToRun. 145.
[ 100 timesRepeat: [| m |
m := TxTextMorph new.
m layoutStrategy: TxNativeLayoutStrategy new. "without wrapping"
m extent: 569@9999999.
m textModel: txModel]] timeToRun. 118 .
But Squeak is champion:
[100 timesRepeat: [(NewParagraph new)
compose: text
style: TextStyle default copy
from: 1
in: ( 0@0 corner: 569@9999999)]] timeToRun . 84.
Best regards,
