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.
Just wanted to mention that this might indeed be the issue I have been experiencing with the new VM in my IRCe image - I thought it had to do with Socket communication, but hey, it might as well be this in fact.
