Multiplatform OpenOffice.org 3.0 Benchmark

The Munchkins won't like this.
Why not? It shows Windows beating Ubuntu on a warm start of OpenOffice?
See the error bars and the absolute value. The trolls say it should take 20
seconds, no?
I have to say that there seems to be something in Vista which slows down
the fast start-up of OO. If you set the same values in the Open Office
Memory setting in XP and Vista, using the same version of OO, the
startup time from cold is noticeably longer in Vista compared to XP.
Interestingly, on XP OO starts up noticeably faster than Office 2007. On
Vista they are about the same. Deliberate programming on MS's part? Who
knows....
On my Linux netbook, the startup of OO is almost instantaneous....
