Whilst Base is the only component that explicitly requires the JRE, functionality in the other components might take a hit, due to the reliance on extensions to provide specific functionality. > If someone can provide an explanation of how the Memory settings affect > performance, and under what circumstances, I would really appreciate it. In general, the default settings at ">Tools >Options >Memory" are on the low side. However, changing them, without an adequate amount of RAM, will have a negative impact on performance. IOW, the simplest way to increase performance is: * Increase the amount of RAM in the system; * If Calc is the primary usage, Install, and use a graphics card that LibO is coded for; * Only install dictionaries, grammar checkers, extensions, and templates that are used every day; * Uninstall dictionary, grammar checkers, extensions, and templates that you do not use every day; jonathon ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

A JVM is instantiated in the LO process only on demand, as soon as any Java code shall be executed. Note that extensions (even bundled ones) can contain Java code. ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

(After all, if there was a generic way to speed up LO by simply changing some parameter, why wouldn't it do that automatically then, instead of leaving it to the user?) What settings you think "work" or you might not "work" for another person's use case on a different computer. Also, you have to be very careful to avoid placebo effects. I think those options should be removed. They best way to speed up LO is to buy a more powerful computer. --tml ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
