regarding memory usage, it would be wildly different for various tasks. i know memory usage when printing a document (espceially one containing images) increased dramatically from 1.1 to 2.0, even up to two times. no, i don't have tests in controlled environment & charts, but it has been confirmed by other users as well ;)

i can't query the issuezilla right now, but there's my report about writer crashing when printing a doc (turned out to run out of memory...), and i think somebody recently posted another report about huge memory grow for printing when going oo.org 1->2.

so i'd love to see printing included in memory benchmarks across various oo.org versions :)

collinm: Yes. I just posted "Benchmarking Microsoft Word 95 through Word 2007," and I will continue posting more benchmarks and articles in the performance series.

will you post new benchmark soon?

mem: I have thought about it, and may do it eventually. It has been a low priority because today computers have so much RAM that the main bottleneck is the HDD.

Any way you can do a memory usage trend of different versions of OpenOffice?

I like to see the kind of memory usage improvement like going from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 ;)

Achim,

Thank you. These charts were made with R. I chose it for several reasons:
1. R is easy (for me) to automate R from the command line. This saved me hours of work.
2. R natively supports boxplots (also called box-and-whisker plots) which I needed to describe the dispersion in the data.

I would like to know if the charts are made with O...

I would like to know if the charts are made with OpenOffice or another program. The charts look very professional.

hi again,

I guess this might be the right place to ask you how you manage to automate your tests on a gui application like oo?

that's a beautiful article and a great effort you have here !!! wooo :-)

we use open office 2.2 and 2.4 on several (15+) LTSP servers and we defenetly feel performance improvements over the last versions. i hope 3.0 will not degrade in performance.

their is the multi-thread project in open office that is not fully integrated in the last version so i think when this piece of code will be included... an improvement might be noticed in a multi-process environments like LTSP servers.

if you have any ideas how to test the memory performance on an LTSP server please feel free to suggest them and i will run them on our computers.

Is there also an comparison to MS Word? It would be a help to decide which version should be used.
