What are youusing openoffice for?  IS it just for writer?  If so, use 
abiword.  It's much smaller and works fine for most writing.  Only use 
OO when you really need it.

Other thought, since I assume you're running ltsp, the nice thing about 
openoffice is that while it takes up a lot of memory, the ammount it 
uses draps dramatically for each extra box using it, since it leaves a 
nice footprint on the server.  So you might want to think about getting 
a little more memory to fund it.
