Hello. I may have not followed all of this, but I have some questions.
Does the port to ARM mean LO has also been optimized to have less resource usage in terms of processing and memory efficiency before ported to ARM? What are the minimal requeriments for a comfortable and full featured usage of LO? Are there comparisons of this versus other equivalent software? Maybe those questions are more appropiate for techie people, but a nicely explained reply would be great for everyone. Regards.
