In my case OO almost doesnâ€™t touch my hard disk during consequential startups.

The main reason for this is the fact that the OO binary and data are wery likely to stay cached in you operating memory.

Iâ€™m afraid nobody here realized that there always will be a big difference between OO run for the first time after boot and consequential runs. You find the option under Tools > Options > Load/Save. You can alternatively uninstall Java completely instead if you do not really need it, as it will have the same effect.Īnother thing that you may want to try out is ti disable loading printer settings with the documents which may speed up the loading and performance especially for spreadsheet files. Moving it from a conventional hard drive to a Solid State Drive can improve the loading times of the Office software by a lot.Â I'd say that unchecking the Java option is your best bet to speed Open Office up though. That is, of course, only an option if you do not need Java for functionality in the Office software.Īnother possible option is to move the Open Office installation to a faster drive. The tweaks outlined above are still valid on the other hand, especially the bit about removing the Java Runtime Environment from the Office suite to speed up the load time. Update: Recent versions of the popular Office suite show improved loading times. That's really a difference don't you think?

Click OK and restart Open Office to see how fast it is now. Click on Memory in the left menu and change the following settings to the values you see on the right.Ĭlick on Java in the left menu afterwards and uncheck Use a Java Runtime Environment. Start Open Office and click on Tools > Options. I was a bit skeptical at first but soon found out that the changes would indeed speed up Open Office tremendously. There are however options to speed up Open Office which you can do by editing a couple of parameters in the Open Office settings. Way to slow to edit a document quickly in my opinion unless you have the application open all the time anyway.
