** Summary changed:
- [ooo-build] menu entries should use /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice
+ [Upstream] Menu entries should use Exec=/bin/sh
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U
** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
The current menu entries have indirect invocation. This infers
intermediate dash shell invocation and thus slowdowns the startup.
- Moreover, not using direct file path infers a useless additionnal load
+ Moreover, not using direct file path infers a useless additional load
due to the lookup time.
- For example, the Open Office Calc menu entry invokes the below command:
+ With the Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) package, the menu entry description provides the
+ below command :
---
- ooffice -calc %F
+ j@lu64:~$ grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop
+ Exec=libreoffice -writer %U
+ Exec=libreoffice -writer %U
+ j@lu64:~$
---
- This invocation performs the below pseudo-instructions:
+ The above command line is equivalent to the below pseudo instructions :
---
- which ooffice
- dash /usr/bin/ooffice
- dash /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -calc %F
+ j@lu64:~$ which libreoffice
+ /usr/bin/libreoffice
+ j@lu64:~$ file /usr/bin/libreoffice
+ /usr/bin/libreoffice: POSIX shell script text executable
+ j@lu64:~$ cat /usr/bin/libreoffice
+ #!/bin/sh
+ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice "$@"
+ j@lu64:~$ file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
+ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice: POSIX shell script text executable
+ j@lu64:~$ /bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U
---
- It would be more efficient to have the below direct invocation into the menu
entry:
+ I think the /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop file should
+ provide the below command line instead :
---
- /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -calc %F
+ Exec=/bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U
---
+
+ Removing all those indirect calls speeds up the cold startup time by
+ more than 20%.
