If forgot: For the drawbacks: there is none. (Aside from that you will need twice the memory if you are actually going to use both languages.) The slower response time was an issue with the context menu for misspelled words in older office versions. Since (I think it was up until around in OOo 2.1) we used to check the word with each installed dictionary at that point. And thus having many of them installed would slow down the process and most or all of the dictionaries got loaded into memory. But that has long since changed as well. It should be better since 2.4 I think.
