	Open a document in OO.o, minimise the window; now try.

	For a start you're using 'time' to time an inter-process interaction to
a factory from a short lived child; either way the time numbers will be
at best be misleading.

	You don't *need* to get help here; this is a Mdv specific feature; you
get to maintain it yourself - the way we left to not hurt you is to use
the older / non-quickstarter wrapper.

	Initial start time is not affected. Ultimately *you* need to do the
*basic* research necessary to answer these questions. ie. read the
patch, run an strace, see what happens, consider what could be
happening; think, consider, contemplate, ponder etc.

	That sounds amazing indeed. 3x slower ? 3x slower than what ? than an
un-patched warm run of soffice.bin ? or 'soffice' or ... ?
