I run an AthlonXP 1800+ with 512M. Earlier versions of OO took 20+ seconds to initialize. OO 1.1.0 takes 5.5 seconds on initial startup, 3.5 seconds on subsequent startups. On prior versions, there was a substantial difference between source-compiled code (10+ hours and 5 Gig temporary space, ouch) and binary code from OO, but this is less noticeable now that OO has cleaned up their code. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
