Would you mind to tell us about the performance problems you did find 
with GNUstep or the GNU ObjC runtime? Perhaps a small sample application 
showing this difference in the behaviour on Cocoa and GNUstep? If we 
know about or problems we might be able to fix them.
I heared there are some small things, that Apple does faster than 
GNUstep, but I never did see any bigger program showing a significant 
difference. So I am very curious.
