I succeded emerging 2.1.0. On this machine the use is quite slow since opening dialog windows takes 15 seconds. The overall use is ok. Older versions didn't have this.
On another x86 I don't notice that, but that has more cpu power about 2.8 GHz.
Anyone can approve that behaviour?
Maybe this G3 is just getting old. Time for the last pBook generation, I won't leave the ppc community.

I think it's the result of OO trying to resolve its hostname on startup:

I set up a FQD entry in hosts but it didn't solve my problem. It's not that Oo takes too long to start. It takes so long to draw a dialog window, and it takes the Window Manager longer to draw the frame around (15sec). Moreover it takes about 10 seconds to switch the virtual desktop of KDE when Oo Impress is running on one of them.

I would have guessed your problem was memory. But if you have 640M of memory
that's more than my 512M and I don't have such problems.
It still fells like a swapping problem from your description. What is the load on
your machine when you run OOo? Also what use flags and CFLAGS did you use
to compile. And last question for my curiosity about how long does it take to
compile this monster on your G3? On my G4 I count just under 24h. |

My personal opinion is that OOo is just too big and delicate for gentoo. I've had multiple updates since I built OOo that have broken dependencies for it. Since I'm not willing to recompile every time that happens, I've uninstalled OOo. If I could recompile the portions that depend on certain libraries only I might have kept it around.
As it is, the only part of OOo that does not have a counterpart, is the powerpoint compatibility of Impress. KOffice-1.6.2 is much faster and more stable plus, with split-ebuilds, easier to recompile in parts. |

To be honest I never looked into KOffice. I mostly need Impress (but will switch also here to LaTeX soon, for texts I did already).
I noticed also on my big 2.8 GHz x86 the high cpu load but it's absolutly useable there, the G3 is just too old I guess.
