performance.
Why would you be offended by that? Regardless of whether it's true or
not. It's just a statement about a software product.
Since Abiword is more or less on our side of 'the battle', one would
expect different advertising.
As for the myth part... you have to admit that OOo is not exactly
speedy.
Agree, but watch out: growing faster every release!
Even on a new computer, using the latest version, when I start
OOo I can go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back just when the
application is loading.
You must be joking here.
Or you mean a 'kitchen' right on your desk and with a very small cup to
fill ;-)
Sure, after it's loaded you can type and the
letters appear right away, but that's the bare minimum I'd expect from
any application. OOo's memory footprint is not small. On my laptop I
can't use Firefox, Gimp and OOo at the same time. It just makes
everything slow to a crawl.
Well, on my more then two years old laptop, I run FireFox, Mozilla,
1.1.5, 2.0.2, Gimp and more at once.
