[K12OSN] Open office Startup delay on RAID 1

[vcare]

Hardware Setup
IBM Xeon with 1.GB RAM
2 x 36.2 GB SCSI Hard -disk
RAID 1 ( Mirroring)

Software
Uses SMP kernel
RedHat Linux 7.3
Java - jdk1.4.02
Openoffice-1.1

The Trobule is The Soffice scipts runs very slow, on server as well as 
on client
I had done similar installtion but without RAID 1 where the soffice 
starts-up in less than 2 seconds.

Is this because of Mirroing??
What could be the problem ??
Please Help on this??
