Dear Ross,
I agree with much of what you write. Still, to the degree that public
perception of OOo as bloated and slow is justified, I think these
problems
should be addressed in the course of development work on the
programme -
small is often beautiful, even if RAM costs are down !
There is active development on reducing RAM usage, etc...

This is most welcome. OOo tries to reach a very broad audience and
while a
large number of us have newer machines with a good bit of memory, I know
that there are a large number of users with more limited amounts of
memory.
The machines that I use on a regular basis have at least a half a
gigabyte of
memory. I have not had problems with OOo's memory use, but I try not to
leave
too many programs open at a time and do not use some of the graphics
programs
that really eat memory.
I have a number of friends who use older machines and particularly
laptops with
limited memory. Sixty four megabytes to 128 megabytes is fairly common.
They
will greatly appreciate any reductions in memory and hard disk useage.
Ross
