"In the above figure, you can see that we selected the first expansion
box and then clicked Memory with our mouse. This exposed the window
you see in Figure 3. I changed the default values under the Graphics
cache for Use for OpenOffice.org and Memory per Object. I increased
the first value from 6 to 128MB. I also increased the second value
from .5 to 20MB.
"After clicking OK, I closed the word processor and reopened it two
times. On each occasion, the application took less time to open. Under
Ubuntu, I found that OO Writer opened in three seconds, and in Fedora
it opened in less than six seconds. Previously, it took 30 and 26
seconds,
respectively, for the word processor to launch. .................
This hack reduced startup time for my Windows system from an
annoying 15-20 seconds with the quick starter to 2 - 3 seconds
(also with the quick-starter). .....etc..

Thanks for the tip, David;
Even though I'm only a second class citizen with my XP SP2, I applied
the Linux adjustments to my own Writer> Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org
> Memory:
Graphics Cache / Use for OpenOffice.org raised to 128mb
/ Memory per object
raised to 20mb
After two or three startups I clocked Writer 1.9.125 first opening from
Quickstart [snicker] to text doc at 17sec.
That is considerably better than the 30+ seconds it has been taking.
This is getting down to the neighborhood of a true "quickstart" -- not
the 6 sec you spoke of, but what would I do with an extra 11 seconds
anyway? Probably something silly.
