The StarOffice READMEs warn that it will be slower, from memory.
In any case, I would have to say that on my hardware
(Cyrix 6x86 P150+, 32mb, Trio64V+ video card), Word 95 is noticably
faster than StarWriter, which is quite disappointing.
I would have thought anyone could wirite a faster WP than MS ...
