Description osavill 2002-02-20 12:39:48 UTC 
I know I've submitted this before, but I think it really needs to be 
addressed !! So I'm going to be daring and raise it again, and I consider 
it a bug !

By default using ./soffice puts you into writer, so I'll consider this to 
be a normal start up.

There are a lot of same model of PC where I work, so I'll use this as a 
baseline : PIII 600MHz, 256Mb RAM, 16Mb ATI Rage RL graphics card, 12Gb 
single hard disc.

Timings:
Window$ - sub 5 seconds
Linux   - 35 seconds !!!

Repeatable: Yes

Surely OO on Linux can be made to start faster ?

If this is any help, an applet has been created for Gnome that really
speeds up start time, "open office quick starter applet. The person
that created is Kumaran Samthanan at Kumaran@alumni.stanford.org
you can get the applet at sourceforge.Maybe it could be intergrated in OO.
Comment 2 osavill 2002-03-06 08:40:47 UTC 
Unfortunately I am unable to find either the applet or the author on 
SourceForge or FreshMeat :-(

All variants (both rpm versions and a build from source) just throw 
and bomb out with no explanation !
Comment 5 lohmaier 2002-03-12 03:32:07 UTC 
don't blame writer for the starting-time, blame framework ;->
Comment 6 lohmaier 2002-03-12 03:33:57 UTC 
marking it as duplicate to get rid of it...

PS: your questions regarding the quickstarter-application for gnome
should be adressed to the developers of said application
