Hi Andrew,
Well a 1300 page document sure is a resource eater and
with the setup you´ve described you´re just most likely working above
your memory limits that´s why the system would be constantly swapping
memory to disk and everythings so slow. Get more memory or use less
applications at the same time.
Add the numbers below to see what I mean.
OpenOffice.org 1.x minimum Memory Requirement 64 MB
+ OpenOffice.org 2.x minimum Memory Requirement 128 MB
+ Firefox minimum Memory Requirement 64 MB
(Recommended: 256 MB of RAM)
+ Thunderbird minimum Memory Requirement 64 MB
(Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
+ e-Sword ??? MB
+ the usual array of anti-malware stuff ??? MB
======
> 256 MB

My warm start time is less than 5 seconds.
OOo 2.0-SIL ( Win2K SP3 256MB RAM ) took 5 minutes to start,and load one
document last night. Granted it was a 1300 page document, and I also had
OOo 1.1.5-US, Firefox (3 windows, who knows how many tabs in each
window), Thunderbird, e-Sword, and the usual array of anti-malware stuff
running.
OOo 1.1.5 loads much faster than OOo 2.0-SIL OOo 2.0-ZA, or OOo
2.0.1-US. I haven't compared it against 2.0.4-IL yet.
The major reason I amusing 1.1.5, is because I spend much less time
waiting for the computer. [With 2.0, I write five or so words, wait
five minutes for the "program not responding" message to go away,right
another five words, and repeat the cycle.]
