> popxunga: so how do you use the QuickStarter tray icon then?

Hi Tor!

I use it whenever I want to create a new document... 
I use it because is quite faster to open a document having LO preloaded. 

Depending on...
 the OS being used 
 how much memory is available
 how efficiently the OS uses memory for caching purposes
 other concurrent activities running in the system 
... time needed to load the same document may suffer huge variations.

As no one provided any figures/measures (you included) I give you some taken 
from my system, i5-520M(2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, running RHEL 6.x:

1st load: aprox 10 seconds
2nd load: 1 < t < 1,5 seconds
3rd load (keeping 2nd doc open) 0,1 < t < 0,3 seconds

(Spreadsheet used has 15 KB size)

BTW .... preload option seems to have been removed already from RPM 64 bit and
DEB 32 bit LibreOffice packages ... but as you see RHEL caching is working very
well. 

Maybe I'm wrong (and if yes my apologies) but reading everything you wrote in
this bug report, it seems that the decision to remove this function (from
Windows too) was already taken. So... go ahead but please don't forget to tell
everyone to let one document opened all the time to make LO perform well and to
tell all the OS providers to do not page or purge LibreOffice modules from
system cache ;-)

Thank you!
