How about we say "ok - there's a problem here, we should work on
getting OOo to be less piggy with the system resources"?
I can get OOo to run acceptably on an Athlon 500 with 384M RAM (with
256M it was occasionally a bit slow especially if I had other
applications up). I don't think the resource use is a problem, but if
future versions are more efficient I won't mind.
I would think most computers still in use now have at least 512M, if not
much more, RAM; am I wrong on this?
Yes, you are wrong on many levels:
- the large majority of computers in use are old computers, with less
than 512M (usually much less);
- in various parts of the world computers are expensive, so the price is
cut whenever possible, this means the standard offer has less memory (I
see a lot of 256M here on new computers);
- even in the USA a lot of computers are sold *right now* with less than
512M (think entry-level, sub-500$ computers).
