Problems

If you will find many processes hanging in the image it can be caused by some issue of critic plugin implementation. Some people report it in the past. It should be fixed now but there is always possibility that fix is not complete.

Following line should be enough to disable critic method group with all related computation. It is the main reason of that kind of problems:

ClyCriticEnvironmentPlugin disableMethodGroup.

It is not full critic disable. If it not helps then turn off it completely:

ClyCriticBrowserPlugin disable.
ClyCriticEnvironmentPlugin disable.
ClyNavigationEnvironment reset.

And please report this problem on issue tracker or with direct mail or Pharo mailing list.
