Have you tweaked the memory settings in Tools-Options?
3.01 starts as fast if not faster here than Office 2007 on Vista...
The behavior is very different, right now, from the immediate past.
If I right click quick starter and select new text document, starting
is nearly instant. If I double click a document, it starts very quickly.
I emphasize that this has NOT been my experience, and I cannot point
to changes that might affect the loading time. I'll see how things go.
The Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org > Memory settings are exactly as
they were when I installed OO.o 3.0.1:
Number of steps 100
Graphics Cache 9 MB
Memory per object 2.4 MB
Remove from Memory after 10 min
Number of objects cached 20
Box checked for load at startup.
Do you suggest any changes? I think I won't change anything unless it
bogs down again.
I've ALWAYS changed those settings:
My current settings for this on 2GB RAM on Vista Home Premium is
Use for OpenOffice.org - 256MB
Memory per Object - 128MB
Settings on my Ubuntu Netbook (with 512MB RAM) are:
Use for OpenOffice.org - 128MB
Memory per Object - 64MB
A new blank Writer document starts in about 3 seconds on both...
XP SP3 Sempron 2800+, 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 333 MHz backplane.
Remember the setting,
Remove from Memory after 10 min
?
You don't mention this setting.
If I have had OO.o running recently, OO.o starts a blank page in about 1
second. After a while it takes about 15 seconds to start a blank page.
For a while after that, it takes only a second to start a blank
document. I checked both just before composing this message.
Tell me about your system, please. I suspect you have system is
significantly faster than mine. My computer store owner tells me there
are systems back plane 10+ times as fast as mine available for about
what I paid for mine 3+ years ago. Moore's law etc.
After thinking about this, I do not believe that allocating more memory
to be used for OOo or per object can affect the speed of startup for a
blank page (or the time to start a document, but I bet it does for a
large document). You only have to load the binaries for the blank page,
and you have to both load the binaries, load the existing document and
then do a small amount of processing to open it. (An odt document is a
zip file.)
NEVERTHELESS. I very much appreciate your remarks. I will try your
settings, for I have been wrong more times than my opinionated self
really wants to admit.
With Warmest Regards
David
