[KLUG Members] Speed up OpenOffice...

[Mark Bystry]

well, that very well could be. i've only had suse 9.2 for two days now. still configuring the OS. 
i'm sure much of my problem is do to the fact that my pc is an older celeron 700 with 256 mg of ram. 
not exactly a screamer. most other programs are pretty snappy, though. i use openoffice quite a bit 
so if i can get this problem nipped i will be extremely happy.
