Most apps are fine, but OOo is very sluggish. It starts up OK, but then immediately redraws the icons along the top, taking a few seconds. Normal typing is OK, as is scrolling around within a document, but menus are slow and the icons get redrawn all the time. In calc, switching between tabs is painfully slow.
Most other apps are fine, but not all. Thunderbird is also sluggish (typing is slow).
So far I've tried a few things, without success:
- I thought it might be an issue with the Ubuntu build of OOo (which had crashing issues on my wife's Gutsy PC) so I uninstalled and installed OOo 2.3.1 from the OpenOffice.org website. Made no difference at all.
- Tweaking OOo memory settings as suggested on this page.
- Uninstalling Compiz and making sure that I was running on Metacity.
