Hi all Gentooers,

        It seems that since, a little while ago, I switched to data=journal on
my ext3 partitions (the whole Gentoo system) OpenOffice.org is a *lot*
more sluggish than before. Infact it didn't used to be sluggish, but ran
rather smoothly.

        Everytime I launch OpenOffice.org and load a simple 6 page word
document with only text it takes quite a long while to start. When it
loads up, If I want to scroll through the document it becomes so clunky
that I have to wait a few seconds for the screen to update and the HD
thrashing like hell. This happens everytime I want to scroll up and down
on the same document.

        Any ideas if this is due to data=journal and OpenOffice.org not getting
well along (mabye because of the way OO handles its own swap?).

        Incidentally I have an AMD Thunderbird 900Mhz with 756 Mb and a fast
7200 HD. 
        
        Thanks all.
