30 seconds. 16 seconds on subsequent launches. 7 seconds with quickstarter loaded. In a desperate move, i tried to solve this problem by downloading OO's src.rpm and recompiling... with i686 optimisations.. man that took long! about 32 hours to compile... The upside is that now it seems a little bit faster than before. :o) Damian
