I'm not sure what's supposed to be achieved by running Quickstart in the background. When I ran it it took up some 48K of memory, as I recall, and loading documents was none too fast.
I just noticed that, not using Quickstart, I can keep an instance of swriter open (it's listed under Task Manager as Soffice.exe) and only incur a 1.4K memory hit. And opening documents is instantaneous.
So I fail to see the purpose of Quickstart, especially as it has no context menu functions.

I see now that soffice.bin also runs with a blank instance of swriter, and adds about 40K to the memory load. Not sure if that's new or I overlooked it originally. AIR, that's still less than QS was costing me, however.
With 1.1 QS runs soffice.exe. With 1.9 it starts soffice.bin. QS just keeps OOo open and adds an icon to the tray. If you had OOo using a lot of memory, it was not because of QS.
Also, it is not using 40K of memory, it is using 40000K (if you look in task manager), which roughly translates to 40MB.

You're quite right about the decimal point; thanks.
It was indeed soffice.bin that was costing 40M of memory. Oddly, later on, with no changes and no work having been done in OOo, soffice.bin was back down to, IIRC, 1.6M (again, with QS closed and a blank instance of OOo open).
That's windows asking the program to swap out when you minimize it. Be sure to look at the "VM Size" column (add it to your view in View | Columns if you don't see it). Have you tried using QS in a recent build?
I see. I was unaware of the VM column. I'll have to take that into account too. I have tried QS in recent builds, which is what prompted this thread, but I in comparing memory load I wasn't taking into account VM. I'm not sure how that affects the memory aspect, but there still is the difference in speed of opening a new file, advantage going to keeping an instance of OOo open.
