Doesn't change the fact that OOo starts slow. I really don't care what they do to make it faster. On my notebook OOo takes 8 seconds to display the spash screen, and another 5 seconds from there to bring up the Writer interface. That is unacceptable.
Hans, that DOES seem slow.
What version of SUSE/SuSE are you using? Also what are your general specs? As I mentioned in my email, OOo takes about five seconds to go from click to typing on Write. I think it is about the same on Calc.
Jeez... I wish I had your problems, either of you... I have an Athlon 1.1 GHz with 3/4 Gig of memory and 7600rpm hard disks. Running SuSE 10.0, KDE 3.5. I just went to the "K" menu, "Office > Word Processor > OpenOffice.org Writer". It took almost exactly 30 seconds for Writer to open (the splash screen appeared at 12 seconds), finish populating the toolbars, and give me a text-entry cursor in a new (empty) document. If I had done the same with an existing small OOo document, it would have taken an extra few seconds to get the document opened. If I had clicked the OpenOffice Suite instead, it would have been much longer even than 30 seconds. Kevin
