WELL - Finally a little progress.
Marc, your system got me thinking...Win98 - XP...what really is the
difference..
So - I'll still wait for the weekend to do this right...but
After working with some OS settings. And using only an HSQL embedded
databases with the baseball database.
*StarOffice8 Update 7 ( Google )*
Master table
50 Columns ( int, char, varchar, date )
16,361 rows
Open to screen <3 seconds
Move from first to last record ( first time ) < 7 Seconds
Fielding table
14 Columns ( int, small int, double, char )
123,289 rows
Open to screen < 4 seconds
Move from fist to last record ( first time ) < 11 seconds
*OpenOffice.org 2.3*
Master table
Open to screen < 6 seconds
Move from first to last row ( first time ) < 8 seconds
Fielding table
Open to screen < 4 seconds
Move from first to last row ( first time ) < 12 seconds
*OOo-dev 680_m233*
Master table
Open to screen < 2 seconds
Move from first to last row ( first time ) < *3* seconds
Fielding table
Open to screen < 4 seconds
Move from first to last row ( first time ) < *10* seconds
Oddly it takes longer to close the data view window now then to open
it...go figure.
So - I'll do this write over the weekend and write up what settings I
changed properly..
