[Bug 1009704] Re: etoys very slow (12.04 LTS) on notebook

[Bert Freudenberg]

Etoys is a Squeak image, not a VM. The Squeak menu shows you different
Squeak images. Anyway ...

Here is how to find out the difference. Start Etoys both ways, and note
the options used typing this command in a terminal window:

ps x | grep squeak

On my system I get this:

Running via "squeak": -mmap 1024M -nomixer
Running via "etoys": -encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm -vm-sound-oss

So these are totally different. For me, "etoys" works much better: sound
works, and it's using the "Etoys" directory to store projects.

You may try to remove the "-vm-display-x11 -xshm " options, or add the
"-mmap 1024M" option by editing the VMOPTIONS line in /usr/games/etoys.
One of these should give you the same performance. Please report back
with your findings.
