Hi,

I'm observing a drastically slower startup with RC Patch 4 installed, then with previous versions. OS 10.4.1, Java 1.5 release 1 installed but not defaulting to 1.5 but 1.4.2. Happens on 2 machines: G5 1.8GHz, and iBook G4 1GHz.

Thanks for checking....

Did you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) around the same time? Some users have found that the Tiger installation will reenable all of their disabled fonts and, if you have a lot of fonts installed, these additional fonts will slow down Neo/J startup. Both Java and the OOo code require all enabled fonts to be loaded at startup whereas most Cocoa apps load fonts only when needed.

If you have lots of custom fonts installed, open the Font Book application and try disabling enough fonts to get the number of enabled fonts under 100. If startup time is noticably reduced after doing this, then the Tiger installation is the cause.
