Digitalk has just announced a version of Smalltalk/V for Presentation
Manager on the PS/2 that features compiled code.  They claim about a
4x-5x speedup.  According to the spokesperson from Digitalk I talked to
at OOPSLA, they are "considering" a compiled version for the Mac,
probably in conjunction with the changes they have to make for Version 7
of the Mac OS.
