What CPU are you using ? How much RAM? What VM? Is that a 32bit or 64bit OS? Do you feel keyboard input lag on Squeak too? Other apps? Do you see mouse lag too?

On my desktop (she's a bit old) I'm getting some input lag. The distro I'm using is AntiX, and doesn't use system.d. is this a problem for Cuis?

But also keep in mind we wrote a book specifically for newcomers to Cuis! <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/TheCuisBook">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/TheCuisBook</a> There is also a good amount of documentation in the Documentation folder in Cuis, in <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis</a> and in <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis</a> . > My second question was the resolution of the VM.

Please excuse my ignorance. > > - Joseph Both in Squeak and in Cuis you can evaluate Display extent to get the size of the Display as seen by Smalltalk. It is best if this matches the physical screen resolution (although that is not the default on MacBooks). In any case, the difference you see is because in Cuis the default fonts are larger than Squeak's. This is configurable in Cuis. Play a bit with the World menu.
