How can I speed up opening LibreOffice when Java is turned on?

When I click on the LibreOffice (LO) icon it takes only 1 to 2 seconds to open when I have not selected Java. However, when I select the LO icon with JRE 1.7.0_09 selected, then the program (LO) takes upto 14 seconds to start.

I have to use Java because I use the following extensions everyday:

What can I do to open LO fast with Java running?
Thanks.

@Mariosv I don’t think its the extensions because I have been using these extensions for a very long time now. It worked well with a previous version of Java I think. It could be the previous version of LO also. I don’t know, but the extensions are unlikely to be the culprit. When I un-select Java

PS to last comment: When I un-select Java, LO loads in just 1 to 2 seconds.

Hi,

With this new Version of LO 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)) (not the latest version) LibreOffice opens up almost instantaneously even with concerned extensions with JRE 1.7.0_21.

So, I hope LO 4.03 keeps up this fantastic performance. Thanks mariosv & qubit.

Maybe the issue it is not with Java, but with one of the extensions while loading.

I do not know but the second possibly establish a connection with some internet site, and this can take a while.

Hi @Indian-Art,

Is it possible that its the extensions that are causing the slowdown, not just java?

Please trying installing the latest release and testing the following scenarios for speed:

  • LO without java or extensions
  • LO with java (no extra extensions)
  • LO with 1 extension (no java)
  • LO with 1 extension + java
  • LO with 2 extensions (no java)
  • LO with 2 extensions + java

Hopefully the latest build and latest version of these extensions will open snappily for you. If they don’t, the tests described above should give you specific information on what parts of LO, the extensions, or java are causing your speed issues. With the test results in hand, please file a bug and provide a list of steps that can reproduce it. Make sure to mark the bug as ‘perf’ or ‘performance’. The QA team will be happy to help you track down this issue!
