OpenOffice.org Bloatware?

[Jack]

Well, I don't know what effect this has,
but on my desktop system, I've put the OOo
quickstarter on my control panel and I find
that office starts fairly quick for me.
First time after the computer wakes up, takes about 6
seconds, and every time after that about 2. I'm
running
on what can only be considered "old" hardware now,
a 1.3 GHz Athlon w/ .5 GB RAM. Of course with only 256
MB RAM it would be slower, I don't get a lot of disc
caching anymore. I'm quite happy with OOo these days.
Except for some personal quibbles not related to
performance.

My $0.02,
Brian JD
