Title: [Upstream] Menu entries should use Exec=/bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org The current menu entries have indirect invocation. This infers intermediate dash shell invocation and thus slowdowns the startup. Moreover, not using direct file path infers a useless additional load due to the lookup time. With the Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) package, the menu entry description provides the below command : --- j@lu64:~$ grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop Exec=libreoffice -writer %U Exec=libreoffice -writer %U j@lu64:~$ --- The above command line is equivalent to the below pseudo instructions : --- j@lu64:~$ which libreoffice /usr/bin/libreoffice j@lu64:~$ file /usr/bin/libreoffice /usr/bin/libreoffice: POSIX shell script text executable j@lu64:~$ cat /usr/bin/libreoffice #!/bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice "$@" j@lu64:~$ file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice: POSIX shell script text executable j@lu64:~$ /bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U --- I think the /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop file should provide the below command line instead : --- Exec=/bin/sh /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice -writer %U --- Removing all those indirect calls speeds up the cold startup time by more than 20%.
