Performance of OpenOffice.org and MS Office

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the case-by-case dept.

I wrongly assumed that since I paid for it, it must be better, but recently I have noticed that it seems slow, so I decided to try OpenOffice.org to see if it is faster. I compared Writer and Word to see which one is faster and consumes less resources. The results are posted on my website."

    You didn't say what the difference is between your machine's memory and the TFA's machine's memory.

    I've noticed that after I installed XP SP2 onto my machine, the 384MB wasn't adequate anymore and MS Office and everything else slowed down a bit. I wish I had the numbers.

    P.S. Adobe Reader 7.0 just kills me sometimes. It seems like it locks up. Even if I'm just saving a file.
