1 year ago Thank you for the report.
Did you use the arm64 version of Pharo Launcher (https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/mac-arm64)?
Indeed, using x64 version has poor performances.
Poor performances on launched images depend on the VM used to run images. You can see it by right-click on the image, then copy launch command and paste the clipboard content into some text editor or shell. It should use an arm-64 version.
Could you report VM versions found?
I recently got a new M1 mac. Shortly after getting it, I went to the Download page on the pharo.org web site and downloaded the Pharo Launcher. After installation and creating a link to /usr/local/bin/bash the Launcher will start up an image, but performance is horrible. I confirmed that his was a configuration problem by creating a new Pharo install from the zero config scripts and that version of Pharo has no performance problems. In addition new images created with the Pharo launcher also have horrible performance.
I can open the same image in the VM that was downloaded from the zero conf install and it is performant.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Download the Pharo Launcher on an M1 Mac, Start an image. Switching between classes on the caylpso browser takes around 2 seconds. All actions have a noticeable delay
Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Version information:
Expected development cost Should be low cost to fix this. I'm sure the problem revolves around which VM is downloaded with the PharoLauncher.
