Performance: Startup ...

• Static initializers

  • static MyObject aGlobalObject();
  • All have to be initialized at library link (in order)
  • Lots of work to delay these until use

• Pruning code

  • Bin-filter
    • Lots of ancient code for pre XML StarOffice 5.x formats
    • Scattered, large, chunks of ugliness impeding change: split out into a separate piece – don't link to it.
  • Detect / remove redundant code

• Major speedup in 1.1 vs 1.0

  • mmap / touch all libraries before link: (urgh!)
