Hi Tom,I installed 1.6.0_21 on my home computer last night and compared it to 1.6.0_22. This is a 5 year old laptop with an AMD T-50 processor and 2 gigs of ram. It is far from a powerhouse, but it works very will with Ubuntu. Both versions of Java work very well with Base. 1.6.0_21 is a second or two faster.

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.Tom On 08/01/2011 09:54 AM, Don C.

Just make sure you are consistent with either jre or jdk in the instructions. The instructions have the two mixed. My Base has worked perfectly since doing this. Plus, the 1.6.0_22 is only being used for Base, so you have the updated security of the 1.6.0_26 for browsing, etc. One other person who posted used the 1.6.0_21 version in the post and said it was faster than 1.6.0_22. Mine is working perfectly fine though. You only need the jre version and not the jdk, but either will work. If you need more assistance, please let me know.Here is the post:One thing to be careful of. You can use either the jre or the jdk. The jdk is basically for developers and not needed by most folks. Make sure when you follow the instructions below you use one or the other.On 07/29/2011 08:55 PM, ponsiarceds wrote: . tomcloyd wrote:FWIW, here is a relatively painless way to install an older JRE along side, On 07/28/2011 12:53 AM, Tom Cloyd wrote: Ug.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the LibreOffice version of 3.4.1. Now base works really fast like it always did. Then only thing I did differently was I used the 1.6.0_22 version since I knew it worked well.Thank you again so much!!!!!!!!!
