To see how reasonable it might be to use OOo 2.0.1 and Firefox 1.5 under Wine routinely, I benchmarked their startup time on a Fedora Core 5 test 2 system under four conditions: native vs. with wine from cvs, and with 416MB RAM vs. 96 MB RAM [On cold start and 96 MB RAM], win32 openoffice starts up with wine 1.5 times *faster* than the native linux version!
Nope. Measurement error. Turns out running Firefox in wine and then OpenOffice in wine makes OpenOffice start up fast, since wine's in the cache. Gotta reboot between runs of even different apps.
Reboot?? Most likely not necessary, try something like here: http://bhhdoa.org.au/pipermail/ck/2005-September/004476.html
(probably minus the swapoff part)
Gotta make sure that you really get an OOM, though, otherwise your machine is dead ;)
I suspect the reason is the slow shared library loading that Michael Meeks is working on fixing. Once that's in (if he can convince Ulrich Drepper), native OOo should load as fast as OOo under wine.
Nice!
