If you follow the readme in the macintosh dev Documentation directory (Mac OS/vm/Documentation/readme) to the letter you should get similar performance to the 3.8.18beta1U vm on my ftp site.
Failure to do *all* the steps results in poor performance.

Hi,
I would like to know how do you release the VM. Do you build it from VMMaker or is the interp.c build by hand?
Good grief, no, the interp.c is built by VMMaker. Can you imagine transliterating the ObjectMemory and Interpreter classes by hand?
I notice that the VM I build on MacOS from VMMaker is always slower that the on took from John.
Are you successfully running the gnuify script? Are you using the same gcc & settings? They can all make a big difference.
