Hi rh! I remember that if I try to start ooffice when my [EMAIL PROTECTED] program is already running with nice 19 using all available cpu, ooffice took about a minute to start giving me an empty window! Switching between open windows would make the window of ooffice appear transparent/empty and it was like it had frozen. However when I am not running [EMAIL PROTECTED] ooffice starts within 10secs and all is running quite fast on my Athlon XP 1700+. And yes I'm using the bin package as I don't have the patience to wait for 12hours+ for a program to emerge just to see that after 10 hours of compiling it stopped with an error(yes this happened to me) :-) So I 'd suggest you checked if a particular program that you run would cause ooffice to act weird.
