Obviously, it is slower, there is a whole image that needs to be loaded, etc. $ cat test.st #!/Users/sven/tmp/pharo4/pharo-vm/Pharo.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo --headless /Users/sven/tmp/pharo4/Pharo.image st --quit FileStream stdout nextPutAll: 42 factorial asString; cr. $ time ./test.st 1405006117752879898543142606244511569936384000000000 real 0m0.644s user 0m0.516s sys 0m0.067s So about half a second overhead.
