The fast loading was never ported from Meta to Fame. There used to be a bloody fast one-pass loader by Martin v. Löwis, which got replaced later with the current Fame loader because it was too specific to that past version of Meta. Still, such a loader would be fastest.

But as far I recall, typically time was lost in the Moose elements, not the Fame loading. Moose elements are built while loading, thus any code in a setter / adder can slow down the loading.

Hi adrian

in Moose I know that you spent time to optimize the loading and memory space. Now in Fame did you reuse the same optimizations? Because in pharo loading large mse files take ages.
