Hi Julian,
Thanks for your tips. Several people (Stef, Mariano, Marcus) already
told me how good you did with Cuis to produce a small, coherent and
effective Smalltalk, all these activities around Smalltalk are both
exciting and a source of motivation to show out there how nice Smalltalk
can be for developers and users.
Right now, my hands are full with DrGeo refactoring, VM compilation to
produce a VM for XO-1 (done now) and now configuring an image itself to
be a nice host for the full, new bleeding DrGeo UI, polymorph based[1].
Serge also wants to have a lean Pharo on XO to port and to develop
educational applications. We agree to share the workload: I am finishing
the Sugar Polymorph theme (an important part to get a faster UI, on top
of a coherent UI with the rest of the XO Sugar environment) and Serge
will looks at the image configuration and optimization.
Your help will be very welcome.

I suggest testing Cuis. In Cuis do 'Preferences veryBigFonts' and you
get a quite usable system on the XO. Then, use the profiler, to see
where Pharo spends time and Cuis doesn't. That's are the parts you need
to understand and optimize. And you can take code from Cuis to make it
faster (it is all MIT). BTW, anti aliased fonts are ok if StrikeFonts
(i.e. the Cuis DejaVu fonts), and most likely, using 16bpp Display
instead of 32 doesn't make much difference.
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
