OOo 1.1.1 slower than it's predessor?

spe · Guest

Hi,

I've just downloaded OOo 1.1.1 and noticed one thing - it even slower than 1.1.0 sometimes when opening files. All memory settings identical but 1.1.1 opens the same files slower than it's predessor. I have to say, not all the time, but for example when the file opened for the first time 1.1.1 "thinking" much more, and most annoying I cannot work with already opened documents till new one is opened. Story repeats when I'm trying to create new document (of any type) via menu File->New for the first time. Is any cure?

Configuration: Celeron 1.7 GHz, RAM 512 Mb, operating system Win2000

With 512 MB you are a lucky guy. I must live with a mere 128 MBytes and saving a 150 page 1.5 MByte doc takes more than three minutes. This very slow saving indeed appears related to the more recent versions. Especially irritating is that the whole office suite is blocked during that time. I hope that this will be improved in future version. Saving is not anymore something I can do every five minutes. Fortunately, OOo is very solid on Win 2000 and when it crashes, it usually can save and recover the most recent changes.

My experience is somewhat different.

Slow it is, yes, but only at the beginning, when I start up my machine and OOo. The first doc opens very slowly but the next and consequent ones open much faster. (Different ones, not the same one for a second time, I mean.)

Also, I have lots of macros added by myself. When I hit the very first of them (whichever it is) after machine start up, it takes a long time to perform, then all the others run fast.

To me this givesthe idea that OOo has to "re-learn" the paths and ways and the like in the given machinen from day to day.

Also, according to my observation it depends more on CPU than on Ram. At work I have 128 Ram and 2.4 Giga CPU and it is ways faster than my 700 Mb Cpu and 256 Ram at home.

Note, I never use the native format since all others I have to share my files with use MS. And saving as doc proved to be, by the way, quicker than saving as sxw.
