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?

Ohh sorry, S10 u1 on a Blade 2500(2x1.6GHz)

Does not sound right. Same machine as you (SB2500) using 1.6% of CPU in document when not doing anything (but window has focus). Running StarOffice 8 (update 3), Solaris 10 03/05 + latest patches.

I am editing a 94 page (2.5MB) word document, idle not doing anything using ~1.6% CPU. In terms of general editing it feels much faster than editing the same document on MS-Word on a 3.2GHz P4. Page scrolling etc. is very very fast (and I am on a SunRay terminal).

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.

Also, after upgrade to S10 from S9 and Staroffice 8 when I log in with language USA ISO8859-1 I can't write Swedish å, I can write öä but when I write å it hangs and I must kill it!

The login environment I have is not changed!
