Hi all, These days I am doing the work to improve the speed of openning a .ppt file which contains many jpg or bmp pictures. I found use MS Powerpoint and OOo impress to open the same .ppt file(contains many jpg or bmp pictures),OOo impress is much more slower than MS Powerpoint.In my test,MS Powerpoint open my test .ppt file in 3-4 seconds, but for OOo it is 1-2 minutes. I have tracked the process of importing a .ppt file, here is the process: ...... ImplSdPPTImport::Import() SdrPowerPointImport::ImportPage(...) SvxMSDffManager::ImportObj(...) SvxMSDffManager::ImportGraphic(...) SvxMSDffManager::GetBLIP(...) SvxMSDffManager::GetBLIPDirect(...) GraphicFilter::ImportGraphic(...) Graphic::SetLink(...) // ********* here save picture data into a temp file SdrGrafObj::ForceSwapOut() GraphicObject::FireSwapOutRequest() GraphicObject::ImplAutoSwapOutHdl(...) GraphicObject::SwapOut() // ******** here again swap out picture data to temp file ...... To my opinion, OOo impress opens .ppt file slower because of: 1. It imports all contents before displays, but MS Powerpoint only imports those needed; 2. It create too many temp files for those pictures embeded in slide pages, but MS Powerpoint do nothing about this. Then I do some tests, first I omit the function Graphic::SetLink(...). In the case open my .ppt file(contains many jpg or bmp picture), the speed raise 30%-40% and only several temp files created. Everything looks ok except the peak memory is twice. Maybe too many picture data in memory? So my question is: 1. Why we must import all things before to display it? Maybe operation speed will fast but load speed is too slow; 2. Can I maintain the input sream( .ppt file stream ) all the time? So I can import any thing when I real need it;
Thank you to read my question, and I need your help. Any comment and hint are welcome. best regards, jiangdongjin
