I've got it on a very old test machine (300Mhz 284Mb) -- primarily to see how it runs on old hardware (so far I'm impressed - except for the OOoU 2.2). OOo 2.2 (Ubuntu'ized) opened w/Writer & nothing else open is sucking down on average 40% of the CPU: CPU: 40% (avg) User memory: 126.0 MB of 281.7 MB 44.7% User swap: 1.4 MB of 308.0 MB 0.5% On my other old machine (450Mhz 256Mb) running Dapper OOo (official) 2.1 and the same -- only OOo open w/Writer, I get: CPU: 8.9% (avg) User memory: 103.4 MB of 250.3 41.3% Used swap: 41.6 MB of 748.0 5.6% I had another 300Mhz machine running this morning w/identical Feisty config & results appeared to be the same, but that machine took a nose dive (H/W related), so I can't do an exact comparison just now. I'll load the offical 2.1 on the Feisty machine later and run the same test to see what the CPU loads are using that. If I get ambitious I'll then try the offical 2.2 RC and see if there is any difference between the Ubuntu'ized version and the offical version. Probably won't get to that last until early next week... racing season (sailing) has started & I'm off to the water later this evening :-) Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
