Hello,
1 to: 30 do: [ :j| 1 to: 30 do: [:k| 1 to: 30 do: [ :l| 1 to: 30 do: [:m| Something :-) ] ] ] ]
The number of times that "Something :-)" gets executed is 810,000, or less than 1 mega times. Unless "Something :-)" is something, it shouldn't take anything like that.
It takes 50 seconds to finish this loop. Compare to C ( 0.1 second?), I think it is too slow.
The factor of 500? is too high, usually. Even a computation with bare Float objects performs better. If you can put your data in FloatArray, it'll perform much faster.
