Here at UNC we have used both the Berkeley and Xerox PS
interpreters, and on both sun-2's and sun-3's.  I would judge the
performance as follows:

    Berkeley ("bs")
        Sun-2	barely tolerable
	Sun-3	reasonable

    Xerox PS
	Sun-2	reasonable
	Sun-3	excellent

To be fair to Berkeley Smalltalk, I would say that it is better
integrated into Unix (uses Unix new lines, unlike Xerox PS which
uses carriage returns), and is in some sense a better experimental
tool since the interpreter source code is available.  (We do not
have source code for the Xerox PS interpreter here at UNC, although
I suppose some sites do.)

Since we have gone through the exercise here of getting around
various shortcomings in the Xerox PS interpreter, I was planning on
posting some bug fixes and goodies to the net.  Is anyone out there
interested, or will I just be wasting my time?

cheers,
