Reassigned to HI. HI->OS: I've got 40sec. for 300 recipients. One page text only doc. Tried it again with 378 Recipients, took 8:54 min to personalize and 1:47 to save the document. Screenshot http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/1371/kzk7ax7j_png.htm The document has 2 pages and is based on the letter Template of the Technical University of Darmstadt. I put the template on http://www.outsch.org/tud_template.dot. The Fonts in this template were purchased by the TUD and are not available for public, so they should be replaced. I think I know why it's faster now. If I remember correctly, I had only 1GB RAM when I tested it with 350 Recipients, after that experience I decided to switch to Word for Mail Merge. But also with 2GB its 13.35 times slower than on your machine. My PC: AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 2GB RAM, 1GB Swap, 100+GB HDD, Windows XP Service Pack 2 with all Updates. Perhaps it's caused by a misconfiguration? I didn't change anything in bei DEV300M3 Installation. First of all, check your mailmerge result : if there is 350 page styles,try to format your document with no header and no footer otherwise OOo will create a new page style for each records. I wonder why if I use Default page style with header and footer activate, OOo will create for each record a new page style ? (Default1, Default2, Default3 ... Default350) Ok right for header/footer content but we will have some perfomance issue when you have to enable it and you have a lot of record (about 1000). Tested it with DEV300_m5 still slow. I understand the header/footer Problem, but why there is no effect in MS Office? How is this Problem solved by Microsoft? Any Idea? Hi, Any news on this? I have to kill my office-process when trying a merge with more then few hundred addresses ... I did some performance tests. - Text document with one single page, one graphic, 5 fields, one conditional paragraph; - A database with 945 records Results on test system with 2.5 Mhz / 2 Gig (*) OOo Time 2.1 04:05 2.2.1 03:49 2.3.1 04:30 2.4.1 05:17 3.0Beta1 05:48 System with 1.6 Mhz / 1 Gig (* / **) 2.4.1 11:29 *) of course all tests with only the used version of OOo in memory **) when doing my daily work on this laptop, memory is of course used by other programs as well There is an overview of the problem here : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOo_3_Beta_feedback "polish up mailmerge and mailmerge perfomance : 40827 54531 87104" Bonjour Pourriez-vous faire pour que l'on puisse d'abord sélectionner les fiches à fusionner lors de l'assistant, plutôt que de créer en mémoire l'ensemble des fiches fusionnées et seulement après effectuer la sélection. Cela permettrait de réduire le temps de la fusion et les ressources machine. En vous remerciant par avance. Duplicate *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 40827 *** duplicate -> closed |
