Yeah this is very well-known. Note that here we are talking about the pi B with Spur + the JIT, 2 years ago I remember needing 35 second on the pie A to open Nautilus on the stack vm while the Squeak UI was usable.
The Pharo UI has been focusing on IDE features at the cost of performance, such as auto-completion, better RB integration, Nautilus, new debugging tools... None of the current tools (Nautilus, GTInspector, GTPlayground, ...) are fast enough for slower devices, some of them are barely fast enough for a laptop (for example at some point there was no auto-refresh on GTInspector because of performance). It's not clear if it's due to the new tools themselves as Morphic is drastically slower too on Pharo. The Squeak UI has been focusing on performance and stability. It is very convenient for slow devices but also for slow VM like for example the debug VM. The official answer to this problem is that Block/Brick will be faster so it will solve all this problems. We will see. 2016-03-25 1:15 GMT+01:00 Sean P. DeNigris <[email protected]>: > > > [Squeak 5 is] so *fast* (I have it running next to > > Pharo, which is unusable slow as a GUI.
