Hi again :)

Just wanted to follow up on this thread. Running multiple Writers in the same (single) soffice.bin 
process seems to incur noticeable performance penalties. Therefore, in order to run several 
soffice.bin processes:

  - Get a uuid string.
  - Create random folder in /tmp/soffice-dir-uuid for the soffice.bin process.
  - Optional as Matthew Francis suggested: copy a cached soffice folder into /tmp/soffice-dir-uuid 
(to improve startup performance).
  - Run soffice --headless --accept="pipe,name=soffice-pipe-uuid;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" 
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/soffice-dir-uuid  (Or call /path/to/soffice.bin directly.)

This allows me to run multiple processes of soffice, each of which services a single Writer. Is 
that how it should be done?

I'm curious: it sounded as if multi-threading within a single soffice.bin process is an issue. Any 
more details on that?

Thanks!
Jens
