Well whats interesting is that my laptop only has 128MB of RAM and I've never had more than a couple second delay between opening OpenOffice.org and getting into the document. I too have the Quickstarter in RAM though.
I haven't tried running more than one OOo application at once, mostly using Writer and occasionally Calc.

Well, I don't know what effect this has, but on my desktop system, I've put the OOo quickstarter on my control panel and I find that office starts fairly quick for me. First time after the computer wakes up, takes about 6 seconds, and every time after that about 2. I'm running on what can only be considered "old" hardware now, a 1.3 GHz Athlon w/ .5 GB RAM. Of course with only 256 MB RAM it would be slower, I don't get a lot of disc caching anymore. I'm quite happy with OOo these days. Except for some personal quibbles not related to performance.

OOo has always seemed bloated and slow to me, so I treat it fairly similar to Mozilla/FireFox: It's the best you can get for crapOS/Windows, but probably the worst for every other OS.
Why?
KOffice does more than I'll ever need.
KOffice is nice too. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
