From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: It's not really a bug since, startup speed is actually ok, But the OO version delivered with FC2 is 3 or 4 times slower in starting up, then the version provided by openoffice.org. I guess that there are two or three short timeouts while the splash screen is being drawn on the display, but don't know the real reason for the longer startup. I'm reporing this in fedora's bugzilla, since this "long" startup is not a problem with OO in general, but with the version compiled (and maybe patched) for FC2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.1. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startup OO-version provided by FC2 2. startup OO-version provided by openoffice.org 3. compare the startup-times Actual Results: slower startup of FC2's OO-version Expected Results: almost the same startup-time as with the openoffice.org version Additional info:
You could move to fc3 and 1.1.3. With the "prelinkable" changes it should be faster to start up. For the long term I (and others) have done a pile of work to make 2.0 startup much faster and also reduce the differences between the redhat version and the upstream version.
