OOo.org isn't indeed very fast to start. However, for me this has always been the case. Don't forget that OO.org uses java (either the GPL'ed openjdk or Oracle's closed source version).
** Description changed: Binary package hint: openoffice.org - It is very slow to open any first document in OOo. Either by double-clicking it, either by opening it after the opening of OOo, either a quite empty document just created with the same version of OOo, either a word processing document, either a speadsheet... + It is very slow to open any first document in OOo. Either by double-clicking it, either by opening it after the opening of OOo, either a quite empty document just created with the same version of OOo, either a word processing document, either a spreadsheet... It takes about 10 seconds on a quite fast machine and about 30 seconds on a slower machine. Once a first document is opened, following documents open in less than one second. During the waiting time the machine does nothing visible : neither disk access, neither CPU activity. - This problem seems to be new with Lucid and OOo 3.2 : I didn't notice it with Karmic and OOo 3.1. Lucid as been installed with fresh install on my both machines. + This problem seems to be new with Lucid and OOo 3.2 : I didn't notice it with Karmic and OOo 3.1. Lucid has been installed with fresh install on my both machines. I've tried to launch OOo with command line : openoffice.org essai.odt It's the same issue and nothing is written on standard output. I've also used strace (see attached file strace_OOo.txt) : the wait time occurs inside one of the last lines (just after "wait4(-1, " : wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 7162 This issue has already been reported on french forums (OOo and Ubuntu-fr) but nobody seems to have the beginning of a solution : http://user.services.openoffice.org/fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=22415&p=125249#p125249 http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3539161#p3539161 Feel free to ask for more information !
