Got it. (I think)

Reproduce: Start any program that runs "nice", level 19, priority 39
(the absolute minimum there is), but eats 100% CPU. For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something like that.

Then open an OOo document with lots of embedded EPS graphics.
Watch OOo freeze for 2-5 seconds before displaying each and every EPS graphic.

The same without the CPU eater running - even if niced to the max! -
will incur only a small delay (1/2s), barely noticeable if you don't
have too many graphics.

So: IMHO this is still a bug, since the EPS previews could well be
cached inside the document and displayed faster, plus, the constant
preview regeneration eats CPU time. Plus, if a "niced" program is
running, it should not interfere with software running at normal
priority - and I've been running this background task (it's a computing
cluster daemon) for three years now and this is the first time that it
actually *had* a noticeable impact on foreground tasks.

Could any OOo developer or packager comment on this please?
