yes, almost everything is new or rewritten and you are right,  its time to 
write documentation.
Now, there is one well identified issue.
Athens is used to render everything except
the Morphic world.
This is cool but at the end of the rendering, the vm Form based display is used 
by wrappers :
see in TBlAthensWrapper>>unprotectedFullDrawOn:
----
self surface displayOnMorphicCanvas: aCanvas at: self position
——
It slows down the rendering very much.
what would be cool would be to have a native Athens/Cairo vm display to really 
benefit from Athens.

Cheers
Alain
