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.
Laptop Toshiba Satellite Dual T2330 Pentium with 2GB Ram and Vista Home
Premium.
Toshiba Notebook, 1.6GHz processor, 512 MB Ram and Ubuntu 8.04 Remix
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
Here's one link - there are quite a few if you Google.

(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
