Openoffice/Libreoffice... is it slow for you too?

[William Park]

Hi All,

Openoffice/Libreoffice has never been "fast".  But, when it's first launched, it's fast enough that I can't complain.  But, when I switch to text console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) and come back to X, the monitor is black for few seconds (which is very long time, I might add).  After that, Openoffice/Libreoffice is so slow that it becomes unusable.  It's only Office that's slow, though.  X itself is okey, and other X applications (ie. xterm, firefox) are okey too.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?
        Kernel-3.0.0
        NVidia-275.21
        Openoffice-3.0
        Libreoffice-3.4.1

KWord (KDE) is way faster, but it doesn't have the features that I need.

Anyways, I tried Lyx for the first time, yesterday.  I liked it.  Very intuitive, if you know LaTeX, of course.  I installed it at home and at work!
