=============================================
Running FC3 on an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 750mhz; 256mb RAM.  OOo 1.1.2
just opened for me (cold) in 11 seconds.  I'm running stock Gnome at the
moment, which I rarely use.  I believe it opens more quickly use xfce4 and
even quicker yet using ion or wmi.
