Libreoffice starting in 17-18seconds (cold start, swap restarted) and under 10seconds, when I run it before.

PS: Only cssu thumb, 500-900MHz clock and 1GB swap on microsd - no speedpatch, swappolube and other stuff like that
.
Next I converted it to ext4 partition and I noticed little performance boost - now libreoffice writter start in 16-17s after restarting swap (cold start) and 7-8s "hot" start

Wow! Amazing performance! I've just followed your steps to put ED on a dedicated ext4 partition as explained here and I can really feel a very good improvement while interacting with heavy software like Libre Office, Iceweasel and Inkscape. The UI, specifically, is way more responsive now.

But the loading times that I'm getting are nowhere near what you got (33-36 seconds to perform a cold load on LibreOffice Writer with 2GB of swap on SD restarted a few seconds before doing the test). I'm using Kernel-Power, BatteryPatch (max 805Mhz, left keyboard slide open and LCD turned on) and SpeedPatch. Surprisingly (at least for me) enabling Swappolube with proposed settings increased the loading time of the same test to 52-57 seconds!

I believe that CSSU-thumb should make a good difference due to lower memory usage by Fremantle apps, but I'm asking myselft if such huge difference couldn't be also because I'm using armel repositories while you may have tested with armhf ones? Or maybe some LibreOffice-specific configuration file that I missed?

n900_, which one of the Estel's image did you use in this test? I'm currently using the ED image debian-m5-sulu.img.ext2 (dist-upgraded to wheezy) on separated ext4 partition on eMMC.

I'm very excited to achieve similiar performance results as you demonstrated in the two videos by following your steps.

No swappolube and speed/battery patches. I had speedpatch and batterypatch and I think overall speed was slower than stock maemo @ 600MHz.

Hi everybody, I'm having some troubles and didn't find the answer, so far. I usually work with Easy Debian, but yesterday wanted to try Ubuntu. After installing I successfully opened it, but when I clicked on the menu button, many applications that I usually have with Easy Debian, were missing from drop-down menus.

I uninstalled Ubuntu and rebooted: but when I opened Easy Debian, the menu now had the same missing applications on the menu. It's not that the programs have been deleted: if I activate - for example 'Evince' - from command line or control panel, the application opens properly: it simply doesn't appear on the menu.

I tried many times to completely uninstall Debian LXDE from the app manager, and to download anew the 2 gb image: but no matter what i do, the Easy Debian menu doesn't return to its original default configuration.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Domenico
