I just installed OpenOffice 3.4.1 (A00341m1 build 9593 Rev 1372282) on Lubuntu 12.10 (LXDE) , computer is a Dell Optiplex Pentium 4 3GHz, 4 gigs RAM, Samsung ATA hard drive
When I open a document (any type) I get constant disk access, monitor shows about 200K/second, and CPU load is over 50%. I can hear the disk thumping away, and the fan is running constantly as a result of the CPU load. Everything seems work okay in OO - no crashes, no problem saving / loading files, etc. Lots of available memory, no swap in use... top shows soffice.bin consuming about 42% of CPU, Xorg with another 12%, and java bouncing between 6 and 8%.
Any idea what might be causing the constant I/O activity and the heavy CPU load?
Thanks,
Ray Garrison
