Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo It seems Juan was concerned about his new methods being patented by someone else.  Maybe we'll see more again publically soon. http://forum.world.st/Morphic-3-defensive-disclosure-td4727197.html cheers -ben 2014-06-01 21:24 GMT-03:00 Darrin Massena <dar...@massena.com>: Yes. Reading what Juan Vuletich is working on for the next Morphic there is a lot said about things I imagine would negatively impact performance if a lot of deliberate effort isn't made to offset them.

Maybe that changed lately and Cuis got slower too. Apparently it is very easy to bloat Morphic. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo 2014-06-01 21:07 GMT-03:00 darrinm <dar...@massena.com>: You get a Cuis image and it's super fast. What machine are you running on? I just gave the 2009 image of Cuis a try on my current-model Mac Pro (3.6 GHz, 6 cores, tons of RAM) and honestly just dragging a window around was terribly slow. Just guessing, I'd say 10 FPS or less which probably half what I see with Pharo. Is the VM a factor? Should I try a different one?
