I have noticed exactly the same issue. It is not specific to Hebrew at all, but
appears to happen with every spell-checking dictionary. It appears that when
spell-checking first needs to run (after you type one word, after you load a
file, etc.) it freezes OpenOffice while it loads the dictionary into memory. On
my machine, this takes about 10 seconds.
Once I used a Linux distribution which came with OpenOffice myspell dictionaries
for about 20 languages, all enabled by default. When spell-checking started, it
froze openoffice for 10 minutes and took up 1 GB of memory (!); To make
OpenOffice usable I had no recourse but to disable most of the dictionaries,
leaving only the Hebrew and English (which interested me).
I think there are two questions here:
1. Why does loading the Hebrew dictionary (and other dictionaries) take so many
seconds and use up so much memory? The Hebrew dictionary is indeed relatively
large (about 4 MB), but 10-30 seconds still sounds a bit much.
2. Perhaps more importantly, why can't dictionary be loaded in a separate
thread? Why does it need to completely freeze the UI while it's loading the
dictionary? The person opening this bug wouldn't have been bothered if the first
spelling correction appeared 30 seconds after opening a file, but he is bothered
if he can't do anything for 30 seconds.
