The raw performance (currently with the plain interpreter, stackvm coming soon and Cog sometime) is rather good at around 40mbc/s & 1.4msends/s, which is probably around 400 times faster than an Alto. Morphic UI performance is not so good but that is mostly because it's terrible on *all* machines with current high-end Macs etc managing to cover it up with brute power. Run an older image - say 2.8 era - and consider how we have managed to ruin the UI speed. Try an old image on a Pi and be amazed.
