Yes, it goes a bit faster. But I stopped half way through the list: it is tuned a lot slower than I'm used to with Morphic.

Hehe :) Tuning is another story. Current implementation treats mouse wheel and trackpad in the same way, which should not be the case of course.

And you have to account a possible tuning for a touch screen as well... I've made my tuning for the trackpad of my two laptops, more or less (a bit oversensitive for the trackpad, but that makes the scrollwheel usable).

Basically, If I compare the bloc class list to a Morphic class list scrolling variable speed example, I really have to work out hard the scroll wheel with Bloc... and, still, I'm not reaching the end of the list.

I made a video comparison of 3 list implementations that display all smalltalk classes. I tried to scroll identically for all three cases and covered almost the same distance with mouse wheel:

Morphic-Bloc-Lists.mov

What morphic example did you use?

AltListTests exampleTree1. I'll try to show you side by side (but do I have a scroll wheel at home? Not sure).

I've made a few irregular examples to test (20000 items, with a random text size from small to very large). Illustrates mostly how slow is subpixel display of text in Morphic.

I would be also very very glad to know what DNUs and segfaults you get :)

DNU is: Instance of BlSDLEventHandler did not understand #bitOr:

(note, this is the user version of Bloc, not the developer one)
