Ok, well you don' t need to run special software. You just need to use a non-optimized VM The *worst* case is turn 32bit mode on, and use Rosetta I've put a non-optimized VM in the experimental folder/COCOA via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html called Squeak V5 SLOW VERSION FOR TESTING DO NOT USE FOR GENERAL USE.app.zip That gives you something that is like 8 or 10 times slower than normal.
Perhaps someone can run some benchmarks other than tinybenchmarks to confirm? 64bit mode, 32bit image '52805280 bytecodes/sec; 1763285 sends/sec' '55030094 bytecodes/sec; 1738242 sends/sec' '57040998 bytecodes/sec; 1704137 sends/sec' '57091882 bytecodes/sec; 1741615 sends/sec' '57040998 bytecodes/sec; 1736000 sends/sec' '56888888 bytecodes/sec; 1765598 sends/sec' '57193923 bytecodes/sec; 1749536 sends/sec' '57142857 bytecodes/sec; 1732649 sends/sec' '56487202 bytecodes/sec; 1722672 sends/sec' '55797733 bytecodes/sec; 1629865 sends/sec' 32bit mode via Get Info , 32bit image '62439024 bytecodes/sec; 1779601 sends/sec' '62439024 bytecodes/sec; 1780778 sends/sec' '63054187 bytecodes/sec; 1787873 sends/sec' '61895551 bytecodes/sec; 1796222 sends/sec' '62930186 bytecodes/sec; 1804649 sends/sec' '62439024 bytecodes/sec; 1818053 sends/sec' '62317429 bytecodes/sec; 1826687 sends/sec' '62930186 bytecodes/sec; 1831657 sends/sec' '63178677 bytecodes/sec; 1807071 sends/sec' '62015503 bytecodes/sec; 1815601 sends/sec' 32bit mode via Get Info , 32bit image, Rosette mode aka PowerPC emulation on MacIntel '38905775 bytecodes/sec; 1264497 sends/sec' '39191671 bytecodes/sec; 1265459 sends/sec' '39215686 bytecodes/sec; 1235396 sends/sec' '39384615 bytecodes/sec; 1241850 sends/sec' '39000609 bytecodes/sec; 1274179 sends/sec' '39384615 bytecodes/sec; 1256857 sends/sec' '39287906 bytecodes/sec; 1247435 sends/sec' '39825762 bytecodes/sec; 1238154 sends/sec' '39312039 bytecodes/sec; 1245568 sends/sec' '38787878 bytecodes/sec; 1260665 sends/sec' Normally, optimized 64bit mode, 32bit image CHEATING '433530906 bytecodes/sec; 13051576 sends/sec' '432432432 bytecodes/sec; 13042352 sends/sec' '433898305 bytecodes/sec; 13051576 sends/sec' '433530906 bytecodes/sec; 13042352 sends/sec' '433898305 bytecodes/sec; 12941745 sends/sec' '433898305 bytecodes/sec; 13023944 sends/sec' '414910858 bytecodes/sec; 12815922 sends/sec' '433898305 bytecodes/sec; 13005587 sends/sec' '433164128 bytecodes/sec; 13005587 sends/sec' '434266327 bytecodes/sec; 12444321 sends/sec' On 2009-12-06, at 2:58 AM, Stéphane Ducasse wrote: > Ok excellent then.
