    Well New Zealand is both an island nation and we do pay for allocation/Mb so it may apply. Must check with ISP.

    Though, why would Open Office be trying to access the web when I am opening local documents ?? Seems rather 'odd' behavior.

    As SwedishWings pointed out this causes a timeout and slows file loading.
    Disconnect or disable networking and files load fast.

    So, is that indicative of some sort of database lookup (that we can disable. I cannot find anything in OOorgs options), or a sync to something like Ubuntu One, or is it something more sinister ??

    Of course the fix is to never be online when using Open Office but its not too practical.

    I spent a fair amount of time searching for a solution, but failed. Strange that it only affects some users.

    Very odd. OO opens in less than 2 seconds here.

    Double check in system>network proxy.

    Try running it from a terminal see if there are any messages.

    Code:
    ooffice -writer

    nope. i'm having the same issue both at home and at my office, with two different operators, so it seem to be network independent.

    i tried that, but get no messages at all. is there a debug switch or something for OO?

    You said "opens". I mean opening a document, and sometimes when saving. Are we talking about the same thing here?

    Yes, I usually double click on a document. So OO opens itself and opens the doc in a flash.

    Might be worth renaming ~/.openoffice.org and let it create a new default profile.

    The same thing happens with OpenOffice 3.2.1
    I tried it just now. I disconnected my wired network, and it took a second to load a file.
    <sigh>

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Looking through all the options for OOorg I get the impression that there is some preload that involves Evolution and am wondering if any of you use or have Evolution on your system ??

    I do not use it so purged it (and all the other social networking gubbins too).

    I wonder now if this has broken a link that involves OOorg so would be interested to know if you are using Evolution or if this is a commonality that may point to a cause.

    Other than that paranoia threatens. Is Oracle or Canonical or some other 'icle 'acle collecting usage stats for OOorg.

    Sufficed to say that until it is sorted I won't be online when using Oorg simply on principle.

    --Phil, I tried opening in console early on but got no messages.

    If it is any help, when this happens there is no extra resource use shown in Gnome monitor (other than network).
    However the entire screen greys out (everything else is still responsive and I can open and use other apps while I wait)

    The only other time I see the greyed out screen is when I install something from a Deb file.
