Finally someone who wants to deal with this problem, because this is a really big problem. At least if you ask me…
Even on faster machines OpenOffice.org is very slow, compared to most other software out there. How do I vote for this project? By only replying? How can I contribute? Have done a bit programming, but I'm not very good at it… maybe there are other ways to contribute? Testing? I primarily use two computers: 1. A 1.6 GHz dual core laptop with 2 GiB, OS=GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.10 2. An Eee PC 900 with only 1 GiB, this is not the one with the Atom processor. OS=GNU/Linux Mandriva Linux Free 2009.0, but I change that now and then.
