HOWTO: Make OpenOffice.org 2 really fast

To make a perfect OpenOffice.org on your Breezy system, I've got a few tips.

First, upgrade your current beta version to the 2.0 final release by adding this repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2 ./

Then sudo a apt-get update and upgrade, and watch it download...

Then follow these speed tips published today at The Inquirer:

Goto Tools -> Options > Memory.
Increase graphics cache to 64 MB and memory per object to 8 MB.

Exit and restart OpenOffice a couple of times (it takes a few openings before it helps).

It's also important to have the correct version of Java installed. OpenOffice uses Java for a few things in version 2, and the GNU version of Java bundled with Breezy will slow it down. Download the original Java from Sun, and enable it in the Java tab under Tools -> Options.
