Squeak speed under Mac OS X

Aleksandr Skobelev
Hello!

I'm wondering, is there any reason for Squeak to be so deadly slow on  
iBook with 1.33 GHz Power PC CPU and 1 GB RAM and load it so much? Is  
it a feature of the PPC implmentation or Squeak itself? Is there any  
choice that in near future Squeak performace on PPC will improve?

Thanks in advance,
Aleksandr Skobelev

Our definitions of "deadly slow" may be different.  I run Squeak on an
old iBook...

Machine Name: iBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook6,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4  (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz

...with less memory than you have and find it more than fast enough.
What are you doing with Squeak?

Steve
