I'm seriously doubting that there would be documents that complex in the situation I'm talking about. Maybe, at MOST, a couple graphics, but not much, and likely not much in formatting, other than some bold or italics, or underlining. Just so I'm clear on what you're saying, if you needed to load OOo AND load the doc, it was about 30 seconds, but if OOo was in memory, it was 10-15 seconds? I think, if the choice were 10-15 seconds vs. faster when I had to pay more for a different type of system, I could deal with that kind of wait. Thanks!
