I run OOo 3.0.1 under Windows XP SP3

Lately I have noticed when typing a Writer document, displaying of key strokes slows down and the HDD is working hard. It is really annoying to have the screen lagging behind your fingers, and when backspacing out characters you think "that didn't work" and do it again, and then suddenly more characters than intended disappear

Suspecting some program was running in the background and hogging resources I made sure my AVG virus scanner was not running and then looked at Windows Task Manager to see what processes were running. Sure enough, the System Idle process was varying from 98% down to 13% when some process was hogging the CPU. By watching for a few moments I determined that it was soffice.bin that was intermittently taking up to 90% of the CPU's attention ... and this was when I wasn't even using Writer, just had it on the screen, but had not typed a character for a few minutes.

Why is this so?

Many thanks, James
