Speed is good, more speed is better. But my experience is that network drives are convenient (when they work), and otherwise slow and unreliable. Running a Smalltalk system over one is not something I would want to do for fear of losing the connection and therefore my work. Just my 2 asCents. Of course, it might be an interesting test case to profile to find a bottleneck.

The speed difference between running it on a local hard drive and a remote one is incredible. > Adrian > > On Jul 17, 2009, at 01:07 , Douglas Brebner wrote: > > >> Stéphane Ducasse wrote: >> >>> Ok we will fix that for 1.0 >>> right now we are not even in beta. >>> >>> >>> >> As a minor point, running Pharo on a network drive is *horrifically* >> slow so don't do that :) >> _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
