<div>I Made a little video demonstrating what i am talking about. I didn't mention it in the video, but typing and scrolling in the modified image with Juans stuff is smooth, its just the windows acting up. The stock image has a bit of input lag and scrolling also displays some latency. Im just trying to make sure im not doing anything wrong or this is just to be expected. Let me make it clear i am in no way complaining, The work that has been done is amazing and am appreciative of being able to use this for free. Anyways, here's the video:<br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/9lhagKSPjcg">https://youtu.be/9lhagKSPjcg</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>thanks,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Joseph Turco</div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user protonmail_signature_block-empty"></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton"></div></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_quote">

Hello all,<br><br>I did a test. I tried the latest squeak 5.3 32bit image on my rpi400, it was running exactly like I was using it on a desktop computer. Didn't modify anything, it was a stock image. Cuis, even with the commands Juan shared with me, still has lag when I'm moving windows around, don't know what vector graphics are going to look like since I haven't made it that far in the book. Maybe Cuis doesn't play nice with arm processor's?<br><br><br>Sent from ProtonMail mobile<br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Jul 22, 2021, 1:32 PM, Joseph Turco via Cuis-dev < cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br>The reason I do like that there is some sort of book, is to teach me some principles of OOP.

I'm pretty sure that none of the open source options out there, despite their claims, *really* offers 100% Blue Book compatibility. Cuis (and Squeak) probably offer reasonable to very good compatibility through chapter 16. There may be some differences here and there, but this is pretty core stuff that I don't believe has changed much. Chapter 17 on is mostly going to be very different and not something you're likely to find in today's implementations. Conceptually, most of the functionality still exists but when Squeak moved to Morphic most things got renamed/restructured/rethought.

The tweaks improved the situation on the BBB rev. C.<br>
I will add to the youtube video the procedure as a comment. <br>

Still, i will upgrade the BBB to a larger machine, probaby BB AI,
this is the lesser evil to me. <br>

I tried your tweaks and it did help! Its still a tad slow. The

<br>
Ok. The cog version from opensmalltalk is the fastest.<br>
<br>
One thing you can try is to evaluate<br>
<br>
Preferences slowMachine<br>
<br>
This disables some things that are nice to have, but it gives
better response on a slow machine. After that, do <br>
<br>
self runningWorld color: Color veryLightGray;
hideTaskbar<br>
<br>
to remove the expensive taskbar, and for a more tolerable
background color. You might still prefer to enable syntax
highlighting:<br>
<br>
Preferences enable: #syntaxHighlightingAsYouType<br>
<br>
Additionally, this might further improve performance:<br>
<br>
Preferences disable: #subPixelRenderColorFonts<br>
<br>
Besides, 512mb ram is less than ideal. Please check how much ram
you have free when starting cuis. Perhaps we can help reduce it
a bit if needed.<br>
<br>
I never used a RasPI zero, but I find Cuis usable on a RasPI3B,
if the cog VM is used. I hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

see I think that's my problem. Its a RPI zero w. 512mb

a RPI 3b+ and faster. Oh well I guess its smalltalk-80
for now. <br>
