Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

Some clarification:

The JRE is sufficient (and smaller) if you just want to USE Base.

I will absolutely attest to 1.6.0_21's being an order of magnatude 
faster than BOTH ...0_26 AND ...0_22, for me. The difference is very 
dramatic. Since running with ...0_21 my Base applications are simply 
excellent.

So, I would urge you at least to compare the two. For me ...0_22 was 
only about 25% faster, which really didn't fix the problem.
