This one is a tip I found at Zolved. It is an optimization setting that makes OO.org Writer run faster in Ubuntu. No reason it should not work in Windows.
- Just go to Tools -> Options
- Select OpenOffice.org -> Memory in left panel
- Undo – Number Of Steps: 30 or 20
- Graphics Cache – Use for OpenOffice.org: 128 MB
- Graphics Cache – Memory per object: 20 MB
- Cache for inserted objects – Number of objects: 20
- Select OpenOffice.org -> Java in left panel
- Uncheck ‘Use a Java Runtime Environment
- Click OK and feel the speed next time you load OpenOffice.org Writer

Great tip; wonder if this will work on Windows…
Yes, it works on Windows too. But I did not benchmark it to see the exact performance optimization.
I have a family member set up as using OpenOffice.org on Vista. These tricks seem to work on it as well. Thanks.
