The default OpenOffice 3.2 graphics cache is probably large enough for ordinary documents. However, I put together a 9-page illustrated biography for a birthday party last year using (most likely) OOo 3.1 and that file dragged OOo 3.2 to its knees.
The default cache settings are something like
- 20 MB
- 2 MB per object
- 20 objects
Crank those to
- 256 MB
- 5 MB per object
- 50 objects
Much better!
I’m sure that depends on what you’re doing and how much memory your PC has, but when OOo gets really pokey on a graphics-intensive document, check the cache.
