Rosado Computer: Dell PC OS: Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 OpenOffice Version: OpenOffice 2.0 Beta 2 Processor: Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 GHz Memory: 52.6 GB, 256 RAM Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Series Computer: Dell PC OS: Linux Suse 9.2 OpenOffice Version: OpenOffice 1.13 Processor: Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 GHz Memory: 52.6 GB, 256 RAM Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Series I tested this in both on WinXp using Openoffice 2.0 Beta 2 and on Suse 9.2 using an older version of OpenOffice (version 1.13). The results were the following: When using WinXp, I created several powerpoint presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint in the following sizes: 13.5 MB, 10.4 MB, 8.60 MB, 5.90 MB, and 2.54 MB. Each powerpoint presentation had text, jpeg pictures, and color in the background. I had extreme difficulty in open both the 13.5 MB, 10.4 MB and even the 8.60 MB files. They were extremely slow when importing the powerpoint presentation, taking several minutes while slowing my computer process significantly. When the files did open, Impress was slow to respond to my commands when trying to navigate and switch views (sorter, outline, normal, and slideshow). However, when viewing the slide show, there was no problem and the program did not slow down or lag. With the 2.54 and the 5.90MB files, they acted normal when loading and caused no errors or problems when editing or viewing them. When using Suse, I had almost similar responses that I had in WinXp. For the 13.5 MB, 10.4 MB, and the 8.60 MB file, they were slow to open taking the 10.4 MB file 7 mins and 36 seconds to load, the 10.4 MB 4 mins and 44 seconds, and the 8.6 MB file 2 min and 56 seconds. Afterwards, the program was slow in responding to my commands as it was in WinXp and the slideshow was able to be display with no problems or lagging. However, all three files froze when trying to close the program by selecting file in the toolbar and then close. The 5.9 MB file took 1 min and 9 seconds to open the file, but I did not experience any problems when navigating and editing the slides. The 5.9 MB file also had no problem when closing the file. The 2.5 MB file acted as normal and almost instantly open the powerpoint presentation and gave me no problems when editing, viewing, and closing the slides. Microsoft PowerPoint on the other hand, is capable of opening all the files with in reasonable time and little difficulty in editing, navigating, or closing the slides. If OpenOffice is going to compete as an alternative office software suite, it is important that it should be able to behave similar to PowerPoint if not better under certain conditions. The ability to respond quickly is an important attribute of any program or service even when opening files as big as 5.9MB. For this reason, this bug should be considered important. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
