After installing OOo 2.1 (also seen on 2.4.1) on a Windows XP SP3 system, I
noticed that the response time of the Windows Explorer significantly degraded.
Specifically, response times went from near instantaneous to several seconds.
Response time is measured from the time that I click on a folder and the time
that contents of the folder are displayed. If I uninstall OOo, performance
returns to normal. Repeating the install causes the behavior to reoccur.
Suspecting that OOo was looking for files it couldn't find, I ran SysInternals
Filemon.exe (now available from Microsoft) to see what might be going on. Sure
enough I see a lot of the following when I click on a folder:

>From the looks of Filemon's output, it appears that something is causing
explorer to go through each path specified in the PATH environment variable,
append "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\shlxthdl.dll" to it, and
then search for it. This process seems to repeat multiple times (possibly once
for each file in the directory or for each file of a certain type). Since I have
a lot of paths, the time delay is quite noticeable.
I have not tried to reproduce this on another machine.
