It's extremely noticable when using X remotely (it can take 30s or more to show the thumbnail) and the poking I've done at it suggess that OO/LO is rendering the page into the Xserver and then retrieving the resultant bitmap - but doing so as inefficiently as possible. I'm not using CUPS, so switching CUPS drivers won't work, but I might have a further look into exactly what is happening. --=20 Peter Jeremy --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlCzHmMACgkQ/opHv/APuIdPagCgqeCTT73XJim6RmH9iX3YBV7Z AB4AoJbOAxVdIFqh2AC3G7B8S7enrFeU =QzXB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7--
