[...] Thanks both, to CPH and Pablo, for your replies, The problem will now remain a mystery for ever, as it has vanished without explanation. That is, I switched window manager, from icewm to xfce, and poof! OOo 1.1.5 was as quick as (if not quicker than) 1.1.4. Thinking the problem was connected with icewm, I tried several WMs - ede, icewm, fvwm2, gnome, kde -, launching both 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 in each of them... and all's hunky-dory. 'top' even shows 1.1.5 using consistently less memory than 1.1.4! Maybe that particular X-session got bogged down in a strange way that only affected the new installation of OOo... In any case, congrats to the OpenOffice team putting out the software.
