Unfortunately the dynamic version isn't much faster on my system.  The
problem seems to be that it uses huge amounts of memory.  But, I've only
got 16 MB.  I've seen posts from people with 32 MB complaining that it
was still too slow!  Are there any 64 MB folks out there using it?  Is
64 MB enough for decent performance?  I'm wondering (a) just how much
memory is enough for StarOffice, and (b) once the memory issues are
taken care of, how is performance?
