Hi,<div><br></div><div>Not really. We would need some spy over the objects that get created to answer that question. I will try to take a look, but I cannot promise anything.</div><div><br></div><div>However, I think we can find another solution. Perhaps we could create another presentation that uses a plain TextMorph that is less heavy than the PluggableTextMorph.</div>

</div><div>Doru, will you have an idea what makes garbage collector execute and take extra seconds when the text is displayed in a glamour browser instead of individual glmaour widget?</div><div><br></div><div>The moose image with the scripts can be found here if you want to have a look.</div>
