That's just the speed of Morphic. The VM is set up to display the
spinner whenever anything takes more than a certain amount of time (one
alternative is to just turn it off :). While Morphic in SqueakJS has
gotten a lot faster since the first release, just because JavaScript
engines have gotten faster, I was still motivated to explore
alternatives. That's why I experimented with animated HTML wireframes,
morphic.js from Snap, and using a separate HMTL5 canvas for each morph.
All three of these approaches are much faster than traditional
Morphic. However, the traditional Morphic UI has the appeal that it's
pixel-portable between the Web and native apps.
thanks again,
