After spending an entire ITEC exposition extolling the virtues of OOo, this crops up to claim that OOo has memory usage issues and very slow startup times.

I'll admit that I haven't used M$ Office all that much, but I don't seem to notice a significant time period between running OOo and starting to write a document or create a spreadsheet.

Has anyone else who uses both noticed the kind of lag on OOo that the article author describes?

OOo has always seemed bloated and slow to me, so I treat it fairly similar to Mozilla/FireFox: It's the best you can get for crapOS/Windows, but probably the worst for every other OS.

KOffice does more than I'll ever need.
