Hi Dan,

I don't know. These instructions go back to the first release of 
LibreOffice when it opened initially really slowly for me. If I recall 
correctly, they were originally for open office. I found them on the 
Internet. It was essential for LibreOffice 3.3x and 3.4x for me. I've 
seen less difference in 3.5x. I've only updated LibreOffice when a new 
version is out, such as 3.5.4.2 to 3.5.5.3.

Don
