It has ups and downs, if you get a Squeak 3.8 image and run it in a 2Ghz computer, the UI will be fast, even Pharo 1.4 had a faster interface that 3.0. You get a Cuis image and it's super fast. I find Pharo 3.0 UI to be slower than before, but not slow. It feels like if Pharo had the mobile browsers 300ms tap delay too (https://developers.google.com/mobile/articles/fast_buttons?hl=de-DE#touchevents) As said before, Morphic is slower than MVC too. I always wondered why more money is put into Morphic, instead of trying something else (MVC, MVP, MVVM, etc.). Maybe it's cheaper to fix it than to make it again. Regards!
