There is something odd going on with OpenOffice and SuSE. I found that if I stop my distributed.net client that OpenOffice works much better, at least it is usable then.
Then I did a test on my laptop that runs Libranet (Debian). There if I don't have to stop the distributed.net client, OpenOffice runs at full speed even if the CPU is 100% busy. I don't normally run high CPU usage stuff on the laptop because that is a good way to fry a laptop, they are not engineered for 100% CPU usage.
Where do you report bugs in SuSE? This appears to be a SuSE problem and not an OpenOffice problem. I could not find anything in OpenOffice's bug tracking system on this problem.
There have been quite a few posts on the slowness of OO in SuSE 8.2. It would be interesting to see what, if anything, all of you have in common because I'm running OO w/SuSE 8.2 and it is perfectly responsive. It does take a tiny bit of time to open (a few seconds), but I can't see that any of the OO components behave differently than any other app - speedy. So it must be something that is different on the systems experiencing the slowness. I agree that it probably isn't an OO issue because the OO code you're running and I'm running is the same (I'm using the OO that came with 8.2 and assume you are, too). I clean-installed 8.2, using the standard AMD kernel that came with the distro, ACPI off, and no tweaks. Very standard all the way around. I don't run any distributed computing clients like Seti, so maybe that's it? What about the graphics cards involved - could the difficulty be coming from there perhaps? Mine is a Geforce 2 Ultra 64MB. Cheers and good luck, Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!
