[Cuis-dev] Hello, new Cuis smalltalk user here!

[Juan Vuletich]

Cuis should run reasonably well on anything with at least 1GHz and 2GB. 
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?
