It seems like OOo is chewing up 55Mb of memory for each user who starts 
an instance of it (according to 'System monitor'), with the exception of 
first user, whose OOo ads about 65Mb to the 'used memory' tally. So I 
guess you're right in your assumption that users share parts of the 
program in memory.

Yes, I'e noticed that it starts slightly faster on subsequent runs.... 
It still takes almost 40 seconds though.

Hardware is dual AMD Athlon XP1700 w. 1Gb SDRAM, user homes exported
