Comments on: Speed up Open Office http://www.ghacks.net/2007/08/18/speed-up-open-office/ A technology blog covering software, mobile phones, gadgets, security, the Internet and other relevant areas. Sat, 06 Sep 2008 06:27:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Me http://www.ghacks.net/2007/08/18/speed-up-open-office/#comment-362901 Me Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:14:07 +0000 http://www.ghacks.net/2007/08/18/speed-up-open-office/#comment-362901 Quote from Ivo Pavlik: I’m afraid nobody here realized that there always will be a big difference between OO run for the first time after boot and consequential runs. The main reason for this is the fact that the OO binary and data are wery likely to stay cached in you operating memory. In my case OO almost doesn’t touch my hard disk during consequential startups. I’ve of course tried your settings and measured beaviour for a while but there was NO difference in starting times of Writer (I didn’t measured other parts of OO). After boot it took 12 seconds to start it and all consequential startups took 6 secs. Both with old and new settings. Maybe one important fact is that I don’t have Java installed for OO. End of Quote. The only person with a brainsize worthy of being considered a human one. No, really. Need proof? Load OO with default settings for first time and measure load time. Now do all the tweaking you want. Reboot and then load OO again. Feeling owned? You should. :) Quote from Ivo Pavlik:

This was the answer... I suspect most was caused by the Java on my machine. I was waiting 30+ sec to get the program opened. Wow, does that seem like forever when the boss is hovering over you waiting for an answer that is contained in a spreadsheet... Yes!
