The Most Slowest Linux Apps

[highenergy]

Imagine there is a contest. Only slowest ones can win. IMHO winners are

1- Open Office
2- Firefox

two everyday apps.

Try Mac OSX , why should anyone install Linux Mint? It is ugly Gnome, and it is just a shell around Ubuntu. The thread is about why Firefox and OpenOffice cant be tweaked to be faster in Pardus. Maybe this will be better in Pardus 2008, but I doubt it, since it is a known Firefox, OpenOffice issue.

OpenOffice - this is mostly a JRE issue. The faster Java runs, the faster OpenOffice runs. Good news is that the JRE is consistantly slow on all platforms

Just to say that Linux Mint isn't just around Gnome. They have a beautiful KDE edition.

But sticking to the topic, I don't agree. Firefox is fast on Linux Mint KDE, as already mentioned, but yes, openoffice.org is really slow. I try to use Koffice instead.
