Could this be a java problem (I heard recently that OOO uses Java for its gui, is this true?) or a display problem?

Hi Hans,
I've got the same problem with OpenOffice running slowly on My PC. This is made far worse if I run the setiathome client.
I've done 5 installs of 8.2 on machines I own, and only one of those had this 'slowness' problem, and in my opinion the entire machine was slow. When I clicked to bring up OO(I run SO 6.0), the frame of the window would appear for several minutes before it filled in, and then it would take several more minutes before the mouse would 'come alive' in the application. (it wouldn't respond) The machine was a sick puppy. I did two things in an attempt to make things better: 1) Changed SETI to a nice=19 2) Rebuilt the kernel to my liking. Not sure which of the above did the most but the machine is back to where it was with 8.0 and 8.2 runs very nicely now.
