Zachy,
OO2 is faster because it `preloads' many of its libraries at Windows'
startup. In GNU/Linux, there's the `prelink' mechanism (in
Debian/Ubuntu, there's a separate package, iirc Recommended by
openoffice.org2 ) which can also do this nifty `quick start' trick, but
its not on by default since it modifies the binaries involved.
As for FF and TB I still experience some sluggishness, but not upon startup.
Yes I tried prelink before and it kinda made openoffice faster in Ubuntu. Right now I am not using prelinl because I am running dapper fl 4 and its updating everyday and it cumbersome to run prelink everytime I upgrade.
Btw, the looplist you provided is really good. I am using Ubuntu for a long time now and I missed that page in the wikis. I will try some of it in Windows when I have time.
