In particular I would expect that John_Ha's informtion and machine would be most helpful, as coming from a computer adept working with a well specified machine. One does not wish to have to flag OpenOffice with a warning "BEWARE! Do not attempt to use more than 30(say) images in any document". > Could these issues be rectified by more information on the use of Memory > Options and how they effect performance? I doubt that will help - more people, with less skills, are using OpenOffice; they expect it to work 'out of the box', without tweaking. Anyway, let's see what others on the dev list think; a graphics cache of 256MB max seems unreasonably low in the days of 4/8/16 GB machines. > > There's an old doc about this: > https://www.openoffice.org/about_us/configuration_guide.html > > but it could probably use some updating and better explanation. > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > > > > > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > MzK > > "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, > an invincible summer." > -- Albert Camus -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
