Running 3.3.2… of LibreOffice under 64bit 11.3
When I open a document (.doc) it opens right away, then the cpu spikes for about 8 seconds during which the app is not usable then all is fine.
Renamed .libreoffice and made no difference. Tried with both .doc and .odf document types and the same
If I open a empty doc then the spike is a second or 2
Anyone else seeing this?
thanks,
No, not here with 11.3/64bit/KDE4.6. Also not in the office (same config).
What is the cpu-hungry process? Same issue with java disabled? Or with openGL acceleration disabled?
definitely Java, disabled it and the spike went away though when I open a doc it asks to enable Java because it’s required. Did not experience this in OO, nor iirc in the earlier version of LO (alway had Java enabled). Not enabling Java is/is not problematic? note: spike shown in Top as LO, not Java
q? openGL disabling within LO?
thanks,
AFAIK Java is/was required for some wizards and for base, and mostly because Sun wanted to leverage Java (IMO). It’ll probably be removed from LO some time in the future. I routinely disable it.
Re openGL: see tools>options>display>use hardware acceleration when displaying images. That is done with openGL (at least it’s named so in OOo).

most java problems can be solved by using YaST/zypper to remove
OpenJDK (icetea i think) and install the Sun java…
should log a bug against the OpenJDK, so they can get it working
smooth, eventually…

Not in this case, I think. The delay happens whether OpenJDK or SUN
versions are used (and all three cores go above 80%)

i’m sure you are right, but did you uninstall JDK?
WAIT, i remember now–another post

maybe with both JDK and Sun installed, both will be listed there and
you may choose whichever you want (with the black dot) and still have
no delay…someone who has both should add that info to the bug, filed

others should add comments confirming the bug, please…(bugs with a
single reporter tend to not get the most priority!)

Yes, did that I usually remove anything I’m not requiring and a
second JRE falls into that category, for me.

Did that as well, no effect on the delay
I also don’t seem to get the thread message that states the delay
disappears, only that it is necessary to select the environment by
clicking the circle (as was the case, I think, with OOo 1.x or 2.x) and
that the “JRE is defective” message disappears.

It appears to be JAVA initialisation, as when there is an open LO/OOo
module, there is no delay when loading another module.
Perhaps you pre-load the core elements, as was an option in the days of
StarOffice (which would speed things up considerably - at the expense of
a slower logon start-up ).

Googling brought up a thread that says there’s an issue with the version of Java being used (11.4 updates contains 1.6.0u24) and that 1.6.0u22 or earlier is the solution User support for LibreOffice (). I tested u23 wich is what ships with 11.4 (non-oss) and that did not fix the spike.
Sort of makes sense as this is an new issue not apparent when running 11.3
what say you’all
I know it’s been a month after the first post, but I thought I’d mention that I have exactly the same problem with the startup lag in LibreOffice. The issue is there whether I tick the Sun or the OpenJDK in the Java options. Also, the quickstarter used to generate all sorts of error logs and I disabled it, not that it made any difference. Is there any way to disable the annoying “A JRE must be installed” message in LO? I am using OpenSUSE 11.4 with LibreOffice 3.3.2, BTW.
The lag issue seems to have been solved in 3.4 beta.
I’m running 3.4.4 (from unstable repo, had same issue with stable) and still experience this cpu spike due to Java, tried a 1.7.0 and a 1.6.0 version and neither helped
The solution, at least for me, was to uninstall all libreoffice-languagetool-* packages.
ps. I’m using opensuse 12.1 and liberoffice from distribution repos.
