I know you're not competition, just put the example as a comparison of how fast a minimum image can run on actual hardware. I know Pharo is a superior alternative, with not only speed in mind.

I understand, it just surprised me that an alpha release was such slow, as somebody said below its simple dissuasive to "give Pharo a try now it's alpha" and find that. > We are rewriting Package info from scratch. > Now it takes time but feel free to join. I hope to contribute with something, even if it's just a bug report/fix.
