New OpenOffice 1.1-WOW
Man, did they speed this up from 1.03...
Now, opening it in Linux gives about 4 seconds the first opening and about 3 seconds when it's already been opened, the whole interface seems snappier now.
For those of you using OO, this is a must-have download...

What sort of load times were you getting before?
I get about 36 seconds as it is. (1.0.3.1) I'll have to look into this one as well.

OO 1.1 is alot faster than 1.03 and earlier, even on a windows PC, to me that is. I enjoy OO 1.1 alot and i really like the built in feature that lets you turn any doc or spreadsheet into PDF without Adobe Acrobat.
I have yet to try the feature that turns a presentation into a Flash application that can be viewed on any web browser.  | |

I was getting load times of 12-15 seconds, 6 seconds when it was in memory, so a considerable increase...
It doesn't use flash to do that with presentations unless something's changed recently... but it does do a good job. Here's an example of a presentation I converted to HTML with it: http://www.sewanee.edu/Forestry_Geol.../ForsPres.html

Good, Now I'l just wait for some bod at Gentoo to write an ebuild. Do you think you'd get better performace compiling from source, or should I just install the binary release?

It's not that bad Jkrohn. I do wish they would do something with the fonts in the menus - they're really fuzzy on my system (although that may be because I'm using ClearType on XP Pro).

Scott: in response to what you said, I just went to "export as HTML document" and that's how it came out, so about 5 seconds of processing and diskwriting?
If you mean the actual presentation, a long time  | |
