Hello,

I have compared the experience using openoffice.org when installed from debs
(via apt) and when installed with the installation system provided by
openoffice.org. For some strange reasons, in the former
case, openoffice takes a very long while to open, while in the latter case -
i'd say, the process is rather instantaneous. Has anyone the same problem
with using deb'ized version of openoffice? Or has anyone an idea whereas to
why such a big performance difference exists?

Hi,

I haven't try to install openoffice from the binaries on openoffice.org
for a long time. But I do use the .debs.

And I must I find OpenOffice rather slow, not only does it take a while
to start up, which I find a minor issue. But once started up it 's not
fast either. I run it on a pentium III 667 mhz and sometimes m$ office
97  on a pentium 200 mhz seems to run smoother.

Specifically the menu's work rather slow when I move my mouse over it
they react slow.
cheers,

Pieter


I have noticed what appears to me to be a significant speed-up if you DON'T start it from KDE. I had occasion recently to start it from a basic TWM windows manager, and it was quite a bit faster but not quite "instantaneous" <g>.

Dunno about the speed differences between the debs and the tarball installs. I have only used the debs.
