Hi Drew, *,

Besides the file-format-issue (unknown to the simple user), Base's performance issues are often blamed to the Java-nature of HSQLDB, so would a pure C++ application have a better performance than a Java-based one?

The culprit was Java ( sort of )- I should say gjc ( I think that is the right name ) - First they where not going to give up the distro version or OO.o so forget that, they need some of the features thast OO.o just doesn't have yet. - but what they did allow was for me to replace the java runtime with the actual SUN JRE - now the form opens in about 3 seconds, and the report is on the screen and finished in under 10 seconds

The bottom line is if your are hearing from Linux users that Base is incredibly slow take a look at which java they are using, it matters.

the case you mention is a lucky one: at least OOo Base was running (slow but running). Most problems I've seen were

* all Java-based components in OOo not running due to the non-Sun-JRE, solution was to change to Sun's JRE * in OOo versions build be distros, OOo Base is only module not working at all; here the solution was replacing the distro's version by OOo's build.


Nevertheless, although IMHO the Java-slowness-complain is a prejudice, C++ is faster than Java
