Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 58282
unload unused modules
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:50 UTC
OOo fights itself for performance. One of startup speedups is to load only minimal set of modules, and other when necessary. However, during intensive work with various OOo components, OOo consumes more and more memory, loading its additional components. When component become unused (i.e. user works with Calc, then opened Writer doc and closed Calc) - Calc code should be unloaded to free system resources. I think immediate unload is bad idea, but lazy (delayed) unloader would be perfect. This issue applies to any dynamically loaded components and, possibly, to help subsystem.
