Reassigned to Christian. The hour glass is visible when the next slide will be prepared to show. The time the preparation needs (the hour glass is visible) depends on the content of the slide. In this case, a very significant performance improvement is necessary in that part of the code. It is unreasonably slow. I work on a Pentium III 850MHz, 256M RAM laptop, but I cannot page up and down between pages smoothly. When in front of a class, this waiting time is highly bothering. I want to go back a slide, but I have to wait for the *next* slide to render. Preparing next slide is not interruptible, so moving to previous slide is waiting in vain. In addition, I exported the presentation to PDF, and tested the transition. Transition between PDF pages is by far faster and smoother than by the OpenOffice.org (680m36 and 1.1.1) presentation of the same slides. Therefore, if one has no special effects in the presentation, one's best way to present it is by PDF export. I believe this is not the intention of OpenOffice.org presenter. At first, I thought maybe I should now change this issue to ``Enhancement'', but I refrain from that, due to its high severity. I believe people may even avoid using OpenOffice.org because of so poor performance. As far as I remember, M$ PowerPoint has much better performance (I haven't been working with it for over a year or two I believe, but I can't remember such slow transitions). I reopen the issue Please have a look if the preparation of the slide become faster in the new presentation engine. Thorsten, please raise this issue to OOo 2.0 and set it to fixed when you finished with the performance tweaks for the new presentation engine Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
