Hi :)
I don't think the QuickStarter is made for Gnu&Linux systems.  We get a bit 
spoiled.  If things don't almost instantly then we tend to be a bit impatient.  

With Windows people get used to their systems slowing down quite a lot or being 
given a system that is desperately slow.  It gets so slow that a number of 
work-arounds have been built, such as keeping programs open all the time even 
if they are not being used.  This makes them appear to 'open' faster and gives 
the illusion that the system is more responsive.  Of course that tends to slow 
Windows even more because programs can't share libraries and other components 
in Ram and Swap/Virtual-memory.  So, people figure out work-arounds such as 
going off to make a cuppa tea or deal with filing or double-clicking a load of 
times in frustration.  

The question is whether you really need quickstarter?  Roughly how long does it 
take to open LibreOffice?  It usually is quite slow, like the Gimp.  Are other 
programs also slow?  Is it possible to add some more Ram or get a newer cpu 
with more L1 or L2 cache?  Obviously DDR ram is too expensive and just not 
worth it but DDR2 is cheaper and DDR3 is worth buying at the moment.  Cpu can 
have more impact for less money though.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Not on mine. Here is a screenshot[1]. I also tried this in admin mode with the 
same results.
