She plugged in the USB key, then double-clicked on the Writer icon
on the key. This time, the splash screen showed properly. The
Writer window only displayed as a black rectangle at first, and
stayed that way for quite a while. In all, the app took at least
five minutes to load.
Several issues can occur: USB not working properly ( I know some
cases ), USB key model using USB 1.1 (instead of adviced 2.0 ), and/
or some file system check on your key, because not correctly
unmounted last time, or spotlight doing some work in background...
the real cause is not easy to discover remotely, but top and some
other tools could be helpfull when the issue occurs.
Such slow down never occured for me, thank you for reporting it,
I'll have a closer look on that, and I'll try to find other
testers, to isolate the real cause.
This will depend on the drive. Flash drives have a rated read and
write speed. If you have a slower drive, then it will take ooo longer
to open.
I'll take an example

It has a 3MB/sec write and 6MB/sec read speed. That is one problem
with the very cheap flash drives. This is too slow for running apps off.
On the other hand there is the faster
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT4GBUFDWHTH00
which is 13MB/sec write and 25MB/sec, which is much more likely to be
able to support
It is sometimes very difficult to find the information like this
about the flash drives.
A faster ooo is much better.
Is OpenOffice.org prefs compatible across different platforms?
