I recall Andreas posting a fix to the squeak list earlier in 2006, or was that 2005?

Isn't that still the issue that TTF glyphs are not cached long enough anymore because of a fix to the garbage collector's weak ref handling?
Is there a fix in the image by now?

I've just checked against 3.9-4 (built from source tarball from squeakvm.org), and it's still hideously slow. So it's down to something that changed between 3.7-7 and 3.9-4. Or perhaps CroquetPlugin or FloatMathPlugin. Or AioPlugin or UnixOSProcess :-)

Thanks for that - I had suspected it might be a plugin. I've followed your suggestion, and the plugin list is almost identical except for OSProcess and FFI plugins.
I've just run "MessageTally spyOn: [3 timesRepeat: [self nextPage]]" on my BookMorph. The two results are dramatically different: on the 3.7 VM, 477ms for the whole thing; on the 3.9 VM, 50354ms for the whole thing! A factor of 100x slower.
