Interesting; after reading your mail I launched OO, and it took ~15 seconds to
open; closed and opened several times after that, 4 to 5 seconds.
Rebooted and opened OO, 15 seconds.
So it seems that while some part of OO remains in memory, it was cleaned out
during the night as my first try took the same time as it does oafter a boot.
Now another problem:
Yesterday I has cleared out all the unwanted dictionaries in Tool => Options
=> Language settings => Writing Aids => Available language modules => Edit
After rebooting they are all back !
???????
Cheers,
Ron.
