Reorder code/data for libraries to improve file I/O
The comprehensive analysis of the cold start up behavior of OpenOffice.org shows that file I/O is main bottleneck. About 80% of the start up time is spent waiting for data from the disk. Most file I/O depends on library loading. This part describes what can be done to reduce I/O time for loading OpenOffice.org libraries. The main ideas are system independent but the solutions must be system/compiler specific. The following chapters describe in detail how we want to reorder code/data within the libraries.
Windows
This chapter describes the solution for the Windows platform.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
OpenOffice.org uses the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 C/C++ compiler suite for the Windows build, called wntmsci12[.pro]. What options are available to support us reordering code/data in libraries? If you start the C/C++ compiler and linker with the help option you can see all supported options.
