Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18822
Slowness in presence of other CPU-consuming processes
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:45 UTC
I tend to run the command line setiathome program in a command window. Using OpenOffice 1.1 RC3 is significantly affected by this. The aspects affected that I have noticed are printing (CUPS to networked Postscript LaserJet), which appears to hang, and saving a document (.sxw) goes very slowly at the end of the process. Killing setiathome makes these tasks run normally without any problem. I am using fully patched RH 9.0 on an HP-Evectra (2.0 Ghz P4) with 768 KByte RAM. I first noticed this effect in Star Office 1.0 on both RH8.0 and RH9.0 where almost everything was affected to the point o
This does not seem to be an OpenOffice bug. Try running setiathome with a nice value of 9.
In retrospect, I realize that my response was not well-written. I didn't mean to say that OpenOffice had nothing to do with this issue. I am changing the issue type to "enhancement". I am setting the target milestone to 1.1.1 because 1.1 is comming up soon and we need to focus on more crucial issues. Please run setiathome with a nice value of 9 and tell us what happens. That might help developers isolate the problem. Thank you for helping with OpenOffice.
