How to have a faster image

Mariano,

 

What is the dynamic protocol setting? 

I spotted that recently and intended to run it down.  Is there a good way to toggle free type? 

The preference browser check boxes that I think would do it (hinting), just seem to go into some type of broken state. 

This is a great idea, and probably deserves a wiki page.

 

Bill

Hi! I want to put together the things people do to have a faster Pharo. The "slow" stuff is being identified and for the moment, perhaps it is useful people can have an image with less features but faster. All the things we put here, perhaps we can then include them in the script used to generate Pharo until the things that now are slow, are fast.

This is what I do when I download a Pharo image to get it faster:

ToolSet default: StandardToolSet.
SystemBrowser default: OBSystemBrowserAdaptor.
Preferences enable: #fastDragWindowForMorphic.
Preferences disable: #dynamicProtocolActivation.


Of course, there are other things like using the default Squeak theme or not using FreeType but in my case I rather use them.

I hope this helps to someone.

Best,

Mariano
