Hello!
I'm a 25yo Italian university student
and till now I tried many software programs.
I'd like to know the reason for which
OpenOffice suite's programs are very very slow to open
respect to Microsoft Office suite's ones.
For example, I tried Ms Office 2003 :
all of suite's programs are immediately opened
on my computer(Intel P4 3,2Ghz, 1Gb of RAM,
HD Maxtor SATA 120GB, MainBoard Asus P4C800 Deluxe),
just 1 or 2 seconds ,
while for an OpenOffice program i must wait for 7-10 seconds!!
Why ??
Well, M$ office works ONLY in windows, so it does not need to scan the
HDD for existance of libraries it requires.
OO works on many many variants of Linux, Windows and MAC. OO depends on
external libraries, for which it scans the hard disk every time its
starts up ....... hence the slowness. If you want to dig deeper open
"soffice" script with your favorite text editor and see how performance
changes when scanning for libraries is disabled (ofcourse, this may
break in some cases).
Note: the slowness is obvious etheri in Windows (XP for example)
or in Linux.
Thanks for attention
Best Regards
Francesco
