[K12OSN] CXOFFICE cause High Load on K12LTSP 5.0

[Jeremy White]

Hi Glenn,

I'd get a ticket in with us to see if we can fix this for you.

Powerpoint is going to be a worst case; it can be annoyingly
graphical.  But still, you've got enough fire power that I would
think you'd be okay.

(And I do agree that if you can get Impress workable, that
would be best).

One question:  is it just Powerpoint, or do you see this
behavior with Word as well?  If it's the latter, then something
is clearly wrong, and you should get in touch with us so
we can fix it.  With Powerpoint, it may be that there are templates
that the students are using; if you can switch away to less
graphically intense templates, you may find that things are
more sprightly.

Cheers,

Jeremy
