[libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
Hi, By now I have LinuxMint 14 Xfce Nadia 32 bit. My printer is a Canon Ip4500 and I don't remember how I managed to make it work. I am not a geek neither a nerd, just somebody who had some jobs in bank computer services long time ago. So when I don't remember how I did it, it means I ha no problem. But I tried to print from W7 to the same printer on XP and it was impossible. I managed to print from an Xp via Samba, even it was less easy. I am very surprised by the giant step Linux has climb from Debian Potatoes till today. Everything is so simple : when I was in Delhi I had no problem to use my 3G Tata photon on Ubuntu and then on Nadia. And mainly, to make easier the compatibility between my computer and my wife'one I use...Windows. It means I don't know Linux. Windows is stuck when, Linux runs ? Today I opened the same small files with calc on Nadia, it was LO 3.6, and I has to wait 12 seconds instead of 50 seconds !

I understand there are two now, one based on Ubuntu and the other based directly on Debian. I had difficulties with installing networked printers - Canon and Epson inkjets - when I tested Linux Mint on a computer I attached to my TV for media streaming for YouTube and other Internet content.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
Hi :) Grrr i thought the Raspberry Pi was using an Atom chip but it's using an Arm11 :( So, i have been talking a complete load of nonsense. It might be worth asking on the devs list to see if anyone there is willing and able to compile/build the 4.02 on an Atom or ask them for help building it yourself. It will take ages. I get the impression you have to leave it running overnight (or whenever you do sleep) in order to avoid too much frustration. Also the first time you try it it might well not pan out quite right so you might need to redo it. Hence why i suggest asking the devs if they can do it. However once you do get it done it should be far better as a result. If you get help from the devs they might be more willing to accept it as an official build which might help other people.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
Hi :) Sadly i suspect that it's really going to take someone building it from source code in order to make much faster. Current builds and standard downloads are built against very different architecture. It might be worth exploring the Pi project to see if they have a usable build but that might still be not quite perfect on other Atom machines. The Pi one is likely to be shed loads better even if not quite perfect. Sorry, i should have thought of it before!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
I have heard that the RPi system uses a Debian based OS that was modified/compiled for the RPi, and that the LO version for the RPi was compiled from the Debian-based source code to work efficiently on the RPi's specific architecture. The RPi speed is similar to a P4 300 to 700 MHz depending on the OS, the model [A or B], and tweaks to the hardware. The good news for US, LO and TDF, is the RPi is near its 1 million mark of made/sold units and its default office package is LibreOffice. Even if a quarter of those some units have had the user installed LO on them, that will give LO a set of young [or no so young] users. The user count for that could be 200,000 or more world wide. Getting the young school kids started with LO should tend to make them want to use LO on more traditional and more powerful systems. As for the RPi/Pi system. . . . . It was designed for the education market. They are inexpensive basic one-board systems to help teach school age kids how to program in a few languages, like Python, and by using a attachable controller to be able to create simple [and complex] electronic devices/system for robotics and controller systems. They were meant to be low costing entry level systems for those kids and schools that did not have the budgets to buy all of the needed units for their computer lab to have one computer per student in the lab. Actually, with the SD card having both the OS and data/programs, the student could have a RPi at home and bring in the SD card he/she was using and work on the same OS and data/program in the school's lab. No need to have a networked server with student accounts and such. The RPi was designed to work as well as it could at the lowest cost possible to the schools and the kids. Atom based, and similar, systems were not powerful enough for my needs for home/office and mobile needs. So I forgot all of the tricks and tweaks that could be used in the slower systems still out there for used systems and for sale in the small foot-print system that have Atom and similar speed/power CPUs. For me, even a single core AMD 3500+ CPU with 512 - 1,024 MB RAM desktop seems too slow for my needs. My Intel dual core T3200 2.0 GHz CPU and 3 GB RAM DELL laptop seems slow to me now. My new[er] dual core Intel Pentium B950 2.1 GHz with 4 GB RAM Gateway laptop is better, but not up-to my quad desktop I bought in Feb 2010. I needed the power/speed of the quad for my home/office use.

Thank you krackedpress, I checked the box - Chargement de LibreOffice au démarrage du système - (= Load LibreOffice when the system start).

Hi :) LibreOffice does seem very slow to open, especially first time after a reboot. Same on GnuLinux tbh.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
To get the best results, after the checking of the box, you should restart your system. That is what I was told a year or two ago. What you are now saying is a file/document loading issue. How long has it been since you defragged your Atom-based system? The more fragmented the drive it the slower the load times can be. Wor my Windows systems [XP to Win7] I have been using the free Auslogics Disk Defrag package. http://www.auslogics.com/disk-defrag I keep a list of free security and utility package at this list page. http://www.lungstrom.com/list/ That way I never need to remember URLs or specific names of packages. I also refer people to that list to find the free security packages that they need to replace the paid versions that they do not want to pay for any more. LO is listed there as well.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?
I do not use the quickstarter options at all. I think after the install, it take time to setup some things on the system, that is needed for a first time use for a new install. LO use to be 5 or even 10 times slower on my quad Linux system, back in the 3.4 and 3.5 days. Now it is speedy to launch. 3.6.x and 4.0.1 were slower on the old AMD 3500 and 3000 32-bit systems, than the 3.4 install that was on them. It all depends on 32/64 bit and system resources. Less than 1 GB of RAM can can be really slow and dragging sometimes. I have had so many apps running sometimes, that I make my quad act like an old/slow Pentium 4 system. That is why I needed what I have. The need to have several type of graphics package, LO, Firefox, Thunderbird, and some other packages running at the same time for some of my projects.

I have a bookmark on my toolbar which is http://www.lungstrom.com/list/. So I will have look very soon. Jacques You would not believe how many time I see systems that are 20 to 30 percent fragmented. That is one of the causes of file opening bottleneck and slow down. Also it reduces the life of your drive. I hope you find the solution that works for your Atom system. I do know that our developers have been working hard to remove the old coding that made the earlier version slower. By chance, what type of spreadsheet calculations are you doing, or how complex is the cells/sheet? What was your memory settings in the Tools Options . . . dialogs. Sometimes the number of objects and memory per objects, and the like can cause issues. It might help, or not, with you system. I have never dealt with an Atom-based system before. I heard once that MS's OSs are not too friendly with the Atom chipset on some boards. But, that was last year. I know that there are a lot of OS based tweaks that can speed up a system, but you will need someone else for that, since I use Win7 about 5% of the time and Ubuntu the 95%. The list was created when I was a Windows-only user and needed to find free solutions, since some of the software I needed for a new system could cost more than my rent. I have not gone through all of the links in a long time. When I find one that is bad, I fix it or remove the listed item. Now I use Linux for most things since 99.99% of the needed software was free. The one item [specialty-driver] I needed to buy, no longer is since the color laser printer died. The menu bar is a hover and pop-down system.

Have you tried Gnumeric? If you need a fast, light-weight (but powerful) dedicated spreadsheet program without worrying about having all the rest of the programs then Gnumeric kinda knocks the socks off Calc (and Excel) http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/ but it doesn't have such tight integration with other apps and things in the way Calc has. So, it just does what it says on the tin, ie it only does spreadsheet functions. Oh, and it looks a bit Win98 for it's Gui and website which fools people into missing the power under the bonnet. There is a good argument for using Writer for the odd document here or there and then Gnumeric if you use spreadsheets a LOT. If you do try Gnumeric please let us know how it compares Regards from Tom :) From: Kracked_P_P---webmaster webmas...@krackedpress.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Thursday, 4 April 2013, 19:06 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

I have a bookmark on my toolbar which is http://www.lungstrom.com/list/. So I will have look very soon. Jacques You would not believe how many time I see systems that are 20 to 30 percent fragmented. That is one of the causes of file opening bottleneck and slow down. Also it reduces the life of your drive. I hope you find the solution that works for your Atom system. I do know that our developers have been working hard to remove the old coding that made the earlier version slower. By chance, what type of spreadsheet calculations are you doing, or how complex is the cells/sheet? What was your memory settings in the Tools Options . . . dialogs. Sometimes the number of objects and memory per objects, and the like can cause issues. It might help, or not, with you system. I have never dealt with an Atom-based system before. I heard once that MS's OSs are not too friendly with the Atom chipset on some boards. But, that was last year. I know that there are a lot of OS based tweaks that can speed up a system, but you will need someone else for that, since I use Win7 about 5% of the time and Ubuntu the 95%. The list was created when I was a Windows-only user and needed to find free solutions, since some of the software I needed for a new system could cost more than my rent. I have not gone through all of the links in a long time. When I find one that is bad, I fix it or remove the listed item. Now I use Linux for most things since 99.99% of the needed software was free. The one item [specialty-driver] I needed to buy, no longer is since the color laser printer died. The menu bar is a hover and pop-down system. You need to click on the subsection you want. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
