Hello,
just wanted to ask if there is an issue or a thread on the performance problems with OpenOffice.org 3.0 in connection with PowerPC processors?


Was not aware of such problems with the PPC version. Does it occur with m38 oonly or all milestones ?


Yes, the problem occurs with all milestones. Mainly I often have unresponsiveness with the spinning rainbow ball. Also the startup time is more than one minute.


I couldn't find anything though I think this is quite a severe issue as - at the moment - the new 3.0 version is not at all usable with PPC Macs.


Well, I tested it and so far, no problem.


The X11 solution with 2.x versions makes one feel that it is working with double speed compared to the 3.0 version.


Hmm... yes, X11 version is faster, but Aqua is acceptable. What machine do you use ? (got a powerbook 1,25GHz + lot of RAM)

The same. :-) But I only have 1 GB RAM (because of a defective LogicBoard RAM slot - which unfortunetaly many Powerbook owners have - I can't add another 1 GB of RAM) . You probably have 2 GB. My HDD has 30 GB free and when I tested the current builds I always dragged them into the Applications folder and didn't run them from the image file.


Once I'll find some time, I'll build the PowerPC version (I got PowerPC machine) , and I'll tell you whether I got the same issue.


Great, thanks a lot!

Best regards
Helge
