Good call John.  Solved I think. It hangs in two places from what I can see 
both times trying to access an ip address for some reason.  

---snip-lots of output--------------------------------------------------------
10:57:04 connect(20, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("169.254.168.9")}, 16
) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) <188.995774>
11:00:13 close(20)                      = 0 <0.000918>

Did a search on the ip address in all files in /etc and found it was given for 
the print server name in cupsd.conf, have changed this to localhost.  I think 
this was the ip address the machine chose when I couldn't get the on-board 
network adaptor to work. I don't use this network range.  OpenOffice writer 
starts in about 10 secs or so, didn't bother measuring it as it's very 
acceptable now.  Yah... now I can colaborate on documents with the goons 
using other word processors.

Thanks for all your replies this gave me an idea of what it should be and 
pointer to resolve it.
Steve.
