Speed up Open Office: "SINCE WE wrote a yarn about how opening OpenOffice was slower than a Lada full of elephants going uphill, we have had a few tips from our readers as to how to speed it up."

This suggestion may be better. I increased just to 32MB for graphics and memory per object to 4MB. It noticeably started up faster. The other suggestion was increasing to 100MB and 32MB, but I thought that was too much. 64MB and 8MB may be a nice compromise.
