Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7139
Running Dnetc makes OpenOffice UI slow
Last modified: 2003-09-03 11:20:29 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Run the distributed.net dnetc client in the background (dnetc is a program that uses spare CPU power to try and crack keys see the URL for more detail). 2. Start oowriter Expected: Moving over menus to be fast Result: Moving over menus is slow. Stopping dnetc makes moving across the menus responsive. This is unusual since I am using the preemptive kernel patch and dnetc runs with the lowest possible priority (it is niced 19). I think other aspects of the UI may also be slowed down (e.g. scrolling) but the menus are easier to test. I'm using OpenOffice as compiled from a mandrake rpm: OpenOffice.org-1.0-5.1mdk (so a 1.0 release) Mandrake Linux 2.4.19 8.2 Athlon 850
This has also been reported as applying to other "use spare CPU" programs (like Seti@home).
Same as 9277. If this is not fixed in >= 1.1 RC3 or you think this bug is different, please re-open. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 9277 ***
jw: changed status to closed, look @ 9277
