That's a neat idea.  I've noticed OOo often slows to a c..r..a..w..l
when I first use the spell checker on a single word in a document.  I'm
going to try this and see if it fixes my problem.

Although, I have not noticed OOo being slow to start on my machine....at
least no slower than on any other distribution/computer around here.
