I use MVC virtually all the time on my Acorn because Morphic is so damn
unusably slow. I hadn't noticed anything untoward (maybe I just don't
cause notifiers much after all these years) except maybe one occasion
when it seemed like a similar chaos was unleashed. I don't remember what
I did about it but it can't have been too traumatic at the time or I
would have indeed screamed.

I have noticed
a) that MVC has been getting slower somehow - missing events in some
fashion perhaps. This is despite having sped up the Acorn vm by 20%
recently.

b) that morphic is close to unusable on my pBook 400 OS-X machine and on
my linux machine (p3/800 or something) these days.

I'm using 3.2 release and have been on 3.2 track since it started. I
don't use 3.3 at the moment.
