*How*? My PC is anything but slow:

	leto:~% egrep '(processor|MHz)' /proc/cpuinfo 
	processor       : 0
	cpu MHz         : 2992.812
	processor       : 1
	cpu MHz         : 2992.812
	leto:~%
	leto:~% free
				 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
	Mem:        905900     884792      21108          0      57736     437728
	-/+ buffers/cache:     389328     516572
	Swap:       546168      16600     529568

Yet for me OO.o writer takes 22 seconds from cold, or 13 seconds if
cached. This is on FC4 (openoffice.org-writer-1.9.125-1.1.0.fc4).
I can only assume that you're running a desktop environment that
already uses some of the same shared libraries as OO.o. It really
is bloatware.
