[K12OSN] Open Office Slowness

[daniel.hunt at iibbank.ie]

Have you made sure that you have a gig-uplink for the server to your
hopefully 10/100 client switches?? 

Then make sure that the NIC's are configured correctly ... then move on to
your GUI - disable any unneccesary graphical intensive stuff, as well as
anything that may be eating up the CPU usage.

Then try it again.
How many clients are opening OO when this happens? Would it be caused by CPU
load do you think?

good morning

We have kinda of an urgent situation.  We are running a Summer Tech
Academy next week to train our faculty.  We are focusing on LTSP for all
classes K-6.  We ran our computer lab on LTSP 3.x last year and the
computer teacher loved it.  

Here is the problem, Open Office menus are pulling down very very slow. 
Once in a screen it performs ok.  But the mouse movement and reaction of
the pull downs is terrible.   We did not see this last year.  The server
is a new one, but same model and specs as last years model.
We are now running 4.0.1.

any ideas?  We are pretty much a full blown LTSP school, but I know the
teachers won't stand for this kind of performance.  What is different?
thanks
Shane
