Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45196
Presentation transitions PAINFULLY slow
Last modified: 2005-05-23 12:52:14 UTC
I tested the Impress module first with a PowerPoint presentation. All the slides uses a "wipe right" transition. The transitions, when viewing this presentation with Impress was terribly terribly slow, with vertical panes of the next slides slowly wiping down one by one from the left of the screen. I tried to see what happens when I create a native Impress presentation, but the same happened. Performance-wise I have no issues on my machine when using PowerPoint.
Reassigned.
I can't reproduce the bug. Please attach a document where I can see the bug.
Created attachment 23955 [details] Test Impress presentation that transitioned VERY slow on my computer
Tested the sample on my computer and had an even worse time with it. Transitions were horribly slow as stated and eventually it even forced windows to kill my display driver. Had to reboot to get out of safe mode.
Looking into it further I could only reproduce the problem on my laptop. I tried it on two other systems using the latest build with no problems. My laptop uses a mobility radeon chipset (similar to Issue # 45534). Maybe it is something specific with these chipsets drivers? Just a hunch since I am getting a video driver failure in Impress during these transitions. Also I tried running all four directional wipe transitions and had the same crash. (Varying transition speeds as well) I booted linux on the same laptop and could not reproduce the problem.
Thanks ssallen for the tests that you have executed. Some additional information about my laptop might be of value: Brand name: HP OS: WinXP SP2 Processor: Intel Celeron 1,2Ghz RAM: 496Mb Graphics: S3 Graphics TwisterT with S3 Twister chipset As far as I am concerned this issue is a showstopper because it basically renders Impress unuseable on certain machines (exactly which machines we do not yet know).
Here are my specs for what its worth: Brand/Model: Emachines 5312 WinXp with SP2 AMD 2400+ (Barton) 512mb System Memory (64 shared to video) ATI Mobility Radeon IGP 320 (64 Shared memory) I agree on it being a showstopper.
The transitions are painfully slow on my computer as well with or without open GL accelleration enabled (although they do run faster with openGL acceleration, they are still not as smooth as they should be) My computer: Amd Athlon XP 2500+ Via kt880 Nvidia Gforce FX 5900 Latest drivers for everything

I can confirm this in 1.9.93 on Win XP. I was running on a Laptop with 3.07 GHz and 448 MB of RAM. My same presentation runs fine in PowerPoint. My video card is ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 IGP. I am on a laptop right now, I am going to test this on a desktop. It sounds like so far this is just a laptop issue. Changed the summary and priority. **Note to all, please make sure you list the version # when reporting back. Each new snapshot is the new beta, so let's all try to be more clear. :)

I just ran a test with the latest OpenOffice.org Beta (version 1.9.79) on both a laptop and a desktop machine. On the desktop the test presentation (attached to this issue) worked fine, but not on the laptop.
1.9.79 is in NO way the latest beta. The latest beta is at least 1.9.93 and maybe even higher now. Now, my desktop worked fine. Maybe a little slow, but I don't think so. OOo is a bit slower than PPT XP, but I don't know if that is an error. Changing to P3 since this only affects laptops.
I found a case of PAINFULLY slow animations, on my desktop PC. I thought it better to describe the problem here. The next attachment is an Impress file created with OOo 1.1.3. It contains one slide with animation effect and text effect on 2 simple objects. OOo 1.1 duration of the slideshow : 5.4 seconds OOo 1.9.93 duration of the slideshow : 17.5 seconds Windows XP SP2, 512MB Ram, AMD Athlon XP 1800+ graphic board Matrox G450 Note : converting this document to "odp" gives another problem, see IZ 48363

@bmarcelly -- This issue is about slide transitions not about custom animation, which is what your issue is about. Please find an issue about them or file a new one.
