[QUOTE="technologist, post: 379029, member: 4134"] Bingo. NeoOffice uses Java (instead of X11 like OpenOffice) and that's a huge performance drain. On my PowerPC Mac, Word takes <5 seconds to open, and Word is pretty bloated. NeoOffice took upwards of 40 seconds. I expect that Word 2008 will be faster for Intel Mac users. [/QUOTE]
