Yes it does. But it doesn't have "much" significant effects. OOo 1.0 is still a bit slow to load even with multiple instances of it. The slowdown is really felt when more clients are added, necessitating addition of swap space and RAM. On a 700MHz machine with 768MB of RAM, 500MB of swap, with less than 10 clients connecting to the server, it's still "tolerable" (then again I use GNOME with Enlightenment, so it's still tad slower compared to using alternatives like XFce or WindowMaker), but going beyond, the speed is quite untolerable (as slowdown is quite evident). -- -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG KeyID 0xEADFF6F4 Tel# (632)6429577 Fax# (632)6429561 Mobile# +639174379283 ___________________________________________________________________ "I think ideology sucks.
