The Fastest OpenOffice.org Edition
OpenOffice.org comes in several editions produced by different groups. Each edition has its own features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and new bugs. Go-oo in particular boasts performance as a feature with its the slogan, "Better, Faster, Freer," but is there truth in advertising? Let's pit four OpenOffice.org editions against each other in a scientific speed smackdown.
The four editions are Sun Microsystem's OpenOffice.org (which I call "Vanilla"), Fedora's, Go-oo, and OxygenOffice Professional. If OpenOffice.org had a family tree, it would be a convoluted redneck family. The last three are derived directly from Sun Microsystem's code, and OxygenOffice is derived from (or part of) Go-oo. Some (but not all) patches in the derivatives go back upstream to Vanilla.
Benchmark test procedure
Like previous benchmarks, this OpenOffice.org benchmark uses automation to precisely measure the duration of a series of common operations: starting the application, opening a document, scrolling through from top to bottom, saving the document, and finally closing both the document and application.
