All Quick Start can do is to save you time to start OO.o components. Here's how: At boot time, Quick Start loads dynamic linking libraries (.dll files) required for OO.o modules. This reduces the time for OO.o components by about half. For OO.o 1.9.69 on my (moderately slow) system this reduces the time from about a minute fifteen seconds to 20 to 30 seconds. Due to OO.o developer obedience (IMNSHO, slavish obedience) to Microsoft Application Recommendations, the menu many of us want to keep was removed after 1.1.4. This has been discussed several times on this list.
