I've noted that the spell also takes a very long time to load and run. 
The load times for the application are reasonable.  It takes about 20
seconds for openoffice to load on my Dell Latitude CPx with 256MB memory
and I think a 500Mhz processor.  But the spell checker runs so slowly
that I pretty much wait to run it or try to spell the work correctly
myself.  And I use this a lot on this system.

Does anyone know if there has been a bug filed on the slow spell checker
response?
