Re: Staroffice 8 very very slow

Hi,

This is not a new issue for me but I keep getting bugged by it everytime I need to write a long specification.

Why does a Staroffice 8 consume 45% of my CPU when I am not writing anything, and it is so slow.

I have tried to locate some support from SUN on their suport web but can't find any forum which is alive!

On my windows laptop it is running fine.

What is the spec of the machine? What version of Solaris?

I had a similar problem with the 3rd party program Mathematica on slower machines. My 450 MHz quad processor Sun Ultra 80 is too slow.

This is due to a change of behavior in select() on Solaris 10. That used up loads of CPU time. I doubt it is the same issue, as Sun would have more likely noticed a problem with a program they produce (StarOffice) than one produced by a 3rd party (Mathematica). But the symptoms are similar.
