How much memory do you have? I used until recently a PIII 450 with 128
MB, MDK 10.0 in the office and OO was slow but it didn't need 15 Minutes
to open a document.
Now with a Celeron D and 512 MB OO is fast and I see no difference with
my Pentium M and 512 MB. Thus I assume that it's either due to low
memory or there is a problem with your OO installation. Have you tried
to reinstall OO yet?

PS: Even my really old K6 200 with 112 MB doesn't need 15 mins to open a
file with OO, I just tested it... ('bout 30 secs for 10,7 kb)
