I wouldn't even be surprised if it ran faster on FreeBSD, due to its
high resource consumption (and FreeBSD probably behaving better under
load).

I think StarOffice is known to be slow, 64 MB RAM is said to be the
minimum.

I've got a copy of Applixware for testing lately, and it seems to do
fine. I can't complain about performance problems, and that's with a
32 MB machine.

(The only thing now is that i'm totally unable to make any sense out
of this kind of kindergarten-age applications. Fancy picture icons
everywhere...)
