The major symptom:
It takes 6 minutes to open a 32 K file odt file that contains only
formatted text. It takes 4 minutes to save this file. It closes quickly.
The Task Manager says the total CPU usage during start up and during
the save is 100%, soffice.bin CPU is 80-90%.
I have other odt files of sizes up to 60K, that open in less that 5
seconds, once OO.o is loaded.
OO.o 3.0.1 with extensions:
Language Tool,
Pagination 1.3.7
PDF Import 0.3.2
PhotoAlbum 0.4
Spanish spelling dictionary
OS: Windows XP Professional with,
AMD Sempron 2800, 1.6 GHz,
333 MHz backplane,
1 GB RAM,
fast 250 MB disk.
I believe the file is somehow corrupt, but I cannot understand how. I
copied the text data to the clip board from the original offending
file into OO.o then saved under another file name. That should have
been OK, but it takes as long to load and save as the original did.
This behavior just recently began.
Is further information needed? Does anyone have suggestions for making
a diagnosis of this anomaly?
Warmest Regards

How close to full is your disk? How fragmented is it? An overly
fragmented disk is a frequent cause of deteriorating performance. See if
a de-frag helps. Also, how much swap file space ("virtual memory") do
you have? Slow performance on Windows is very often associated with lack
of this resource. Do you usually have many programs open at once? Or
lots of documents? Or browser tabs? These things use virtual memory and
slow the system down.
