------- Additional comments from paolo_bonavog...@openoffice.org Sun Jan 10 21:47:46 +0000 2010 ------- I used OO without problem for years. Now I have installed on my PC the SMART Board Software; I'm a teacher and have a SMART Board interactive at school, and it's useful for me to review and prepare lessons. Since then Open Office (everything: Writer, Calc ...) had problems: slowing and slowing until freezing and collapsing. Using Task Manager I found the soffice.bin process eats RAM more and more until saturating the 2 G of RAM; the system then slows down until OO dies or freezes. Now I have found the "SMART Board Service" has to do to this problem; I made severale tests and ... 1. I started OO and again I had the RAM eating behaviour with related slowing. Then I stopped the SMART board service and the RAM eating slowed down and ended in a short time. 2. I then used OO for a while with very little RAM use and good speed. Then I started the SMART service again: immediately the soffice.bin process started to eat RAM at an unbelievable rate (about 3 M /sec). Clearly there is a catastrophic interaction between Open Office and the SMART Board service. Hoping this would be useful.
