--- Begin Message --- Just read that announcement (https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2020/01/29/ann-large-image-generator/) on Pharo Weekly.

Anyone knows more about the precise goal of that project?  What is the exact purpose of those images and what are we trying to test?  Garbage collection?  The VM behavior under stress? Limitations of Pharo on a specific OS? A reference against which future versions will be benchmarked for performance? Iceberg and code management performance? How base classes react when they have to deal with millions of objects (e.g. a Bag with 15 million objects, forking 15000 processes, creating 20000 semaphores, etc) ?
