On a Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo D laptop with 256 MB of RAM and a P4 2GHZ
processor running Fedora Core 1, OpenOffice 1.1 takes 67 seconds to
start on the first time and 33 seconds the second time (after having
closed it). If you want more information about my hardware, just ask.
I just tried it on this laptop (HP 1.2GHz Athlon-XP w/256GB RAM). It
took just under 15 seconds for the first load and less than 7 for the
second.
I have noticed that there are plenty of programs which run much more
slowly on P4 systems that I use then on other i686 class machines. If I
were to guess as to a cause of this, I would pick the "out-of-order"
execution optimizations (among all the other "special" things) that have
not been done specifically for Pentium 4 CPUs for the the i386 packages
that are installed.
Anyway, just a concept.
