Jed,

Solveig suggested that you upgrade to Open Office 1.0.2.  I installed Red Hat 
9.0 on to my laptop this week.  It's a P3/750 with 384 MB of RAM.  It is 
*way* faster than Open Office 1.0 or Star Office 6.0.  It starts up in about 
5 seconds, documents load much faster and screen repaints are great.

I also actually like the RHAT 9.0 setup of the Open Office suite.  The 
selected a good-looking font (under Bluecurve), which was my main bitch 
against Open Office.

Anyway, try out 1.0.2 - seems to have been tuned for performance.

Jeff
