Hi Steven,

the influence of the garbage collector is in cases like these often somewhat difficult to forecast. i would eventually change the code to:

repetitions timesRepeat:[ Smalltalk garbageCollect. results add: [1000000 timesRepeat:[o m]] timeToRun].

and if i wanted to see the influence of the garbage collector i would enlarge repetitions and diminish 1000000 in such a way that the product remains constant. of course one would not want to destroy that influence completely as in the real world it always takes its toll.
