Re: Is something wrong with build 2.0?

Thanks David(G).  My bad.

After your appropriate chastisement ;-)

I read the benchmarking guideline. I then installed the test code as
methods. I ran it a half dozen times or so, saw it was still slow in
each. Went and ran the same benchmarks on the other vm of interest.
Came back to strongtalk workspace. Ran it again on strongtalk. And saw
that strongtalk was now jitting/optimized and getting the same perf
times as the other vm of interest.

Problem fixed. Much happier now :-)

Thank you David.
