Since we started using the Open Office Quickstarter (something I would not do with Microsoft products) our speed problems have decreased markedly. I manage some 1,000 installations, so this is significant for us…

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.

Yes! 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…

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. :)
