Hi Joe,
Just curious: When I have OOo open with no files loaded at all and I
click on the X to close the application, it takes at least 20 seconds to
be gone on my good old Pentium II 266 (Mandrake Linux 9.1). This isn't
a problem; I just wonder what it's doing that takes that much time. I
can understand slow startup, there's a lot of data structures, etc. to
get initialized and a lot of stuff to load from disk, but I wouldn't
think shutting down would take much work.
Actually I think the shutdown is pretty similar to the startup. Most of
the in memory objects that are still around are destroyed, which entails
a fair amount of memory operations, plus there's some information that
gets synchronised to disk at shutdown, for instance configuration data,
or state-type settings (window positions and such). So while it's not as
extensive as what happens at initialisation type, there still are a
number of things that get done on shutdown involving memory and the file
system (as well as processing power, obviousty), which can take more or
less time depending on the machine specs.
