Do you mean QuickStarter? This optional process (soffice.exe) claims to "load important components every time the system is started," and is represented by an icon in the system tray on Windows, or an applet on the launch bar in KDE or Gnome. Its job is to keep core OpenOffice processes running in the background, even if the user kills them.
I did not have it running on my Win2K machine, but I do now. Initial launch time after boot on Win2K has dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. QuickStart is not running on my Linux box either. I tried to install it, but ran into a dependency problem. -----Original Message----- From: Mark C Ballew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 2:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RLUG] I Want to Believe > Launching OpenOffice Writer on 1GHz Win2K machine: 12 seconds. > Launching OpenOffice Writer on 2.4GHz Linux machine: 21 seconds. Under Windows, OpenOffice has the option to pre-load libraries into memory, much like IE and Office libraries do (mozilla and ns7 can do this as well). In either your Linux or Win2k machine, were you pre-loading the OpenOffice libraries? Mark -- | Mark C.
