Is there any reason that OO would gradually become slower over a period of a couple months? Has anyone else experienced this?
No, but you might have something running in the background when you open it up. I sometimes open two or three apps up at a time, and then OO.o appears slow against the others. Certainly it is the slowest program to kick in on my machines. 4 seconds by my watch if nothing else is being loaded as well. This machine has 512 MB RAM, but I just timed it on the one with half as much, 256 RAM and it is the same. I don't know if that is fast or slow, but it is fine by me.
4 seconds? Cripes, in KDE in 9.2.1 it takes me about a minute and
a half! I have a 1.1 GHz Athlon, and a gig of RAM. I monitored it
starting with top running, and the most CPU intensive thing
running at the time was top itself at about 1%.
Jeez, I haven't experienced anything like that since the old days before OO split off from SO. Something is obviously borked in your installation, but I have no idea what.
Have you tried running it as a different user, to establish whether the problem is in your whole installation or just in your own settings? OO is not, and never will be, a speed king, but it should not be doing this.
