Re: [libreoffice-users] Upgrade Problem on Windows
Hi :) Good point! Windows partition's over 20% full suffer a small performance hit. The curve steepens at around 50% and over 80% full performance drops away steeply. It's that final 20% that make a machine really kinda painful. Is it possible to resize the partitions?
