Hi Tom,
I installed 1.6.0_21 on my home computer last night and compared it to
1.6.0_22. This is a 5 year old laptop with an AMD T-50 processor and 2
gigs of ram. It is far from a powerhouse, but it works very will with
Ubuntu. Both versions of Java work very well with Base. 1.6.0_21 is a
second or two faster.

Some clarification:
The JRE is sufficient (and smaller) if you just want to USE Base.
I will absolutely attest to 1.6.0_21's being an order of magnatude
faster than BOTH ...0_26 AND ...0_22, for me. The difference is very
dramatic. Since running with ...0_21 my Base applications are simply
excellent.
So, I would urge you at least to compare the two. For me ...0_22 was
only about 25% faster, which really didn't fix the problem.

Hi Ian,
For some reason not all of the previous text I was responding to
showed up in that post. This information I used was from a post from
ponsiarceds. I'll paste everything below. Just make sure you are
consistent with either jre or jdk in the instructions. The
instructions have the two mixed. My Base has worked perfectly since
doing this. Plus, the 1.6.0_22 is only being used for Base, so you
have the updated security of the 1.6.0_26 for browsing, etc. One
other person who posted used the 1.6.0_21 version in the post and
said it was faster than 1.6.0_22. Mine is working perfectly fine
though. You only need the jre version and not the jdk, but either
will work. If you need more assistance, please let me know.Here is
the post:
One thing to be careful of. You can use either the jre or the jdk.
The jdk is basically for developers and not needed by most folks.
Make sure when you follow the instructions below you use one or the
other.

Ug. This is getting ugly really fast. I'm really not on home ground
here at all.
FWIW, here is a relatively painless way to install an older JRE
along side
the default Ubuntu one.
( I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit )
It definitely sped up my Base table browsing, but then I don't have any
binaries embedded in my tables. It has the bonus of not messing with
the
existing JRE
Overview:
1. Download the JRE archive (approx. 20 mb)
2. Extract in /tmp
3. as root, copy the extracted directory to /usr/lib/jvm
4. set this JRE as the JRE of choice in LO (Tools>Options>Java)
5. Exit LO& restart
Instructions:
1.Download jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin (for i386) or
jdk-6u21-linux-x64.bin for
x86_64 from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jdk-6u21-b07-oth-JPR
JRE archive at ORACLE . Save to /tmp
2.run it using: "sh jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin" . The JRE is now
extracted to
/tmp/jre1.6.0_21/
3. copy to /usr/lib/jvm "sudo cp -a jre1.6.0_21/ /usr/lib/jvm"
4. Exit& restart office. In Tools>Options>Java, choose 1.6.0_21.
Exit&
restart office
5. Load you Base file& compare the speed.
If you want to remove it simply set the JRE back to the old one in
Tools>Options>Java& "sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_21/

Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, ponsiarceds!!!!!!!!! I followed
your instructions for having an older version of Java along side
the present one. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the LibreOffice
version of 3.4.1. Now base works really fast like it always did.
Then only thing I did differently was I used the 1.6.0_22 version
since I knew it worked well.
Thank you again so much!!!!!!!!!

Hi Don
I'm interested to try this!! Where did you find the Download for
1.6.0.0_22. On the Oracle site all I keep getting is 'Error 404 =
Page not found' and I can't find it using Synaptic!!??
Thanks
Ian Whitfield.
