Lordinux (lordinux) wrote : OOo opens very slowly a first document in Lucid

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

It is very slow to open any first document in OOo. Either by double-clicking it, either by opening it after the opening of OOo, either a quite empty document just created with the same version of OOo, either a word processing document, either a speadsheet...
It takes about 10 seconds on a quite fast machine and about 30 seconds on a slower machine. Once a first document is opened, following documents open in less than one second.
During the waiting time the machine does nothing visible : neither disk access, neither CPU activity.
This problem seems to be new with Lucid and OOo 3.2 : I didn't notice it with Karmic and OOo 3.1. Lucid as been installed with fresh install on my both machines.
I've tried to launch OOo with command line : openoffice.org essai.odt
It's the same issue and nothing is written on standard output.
I've also used strace (see attached file strace_OOo.txt) : the wait time occurs inside one of the last lines (just after "wait4(-1, " :
wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 7162

This issue has already been reported on french forums (OOo and Ubuntu-fr) but nobody seems to have the beginning of a solution :

Feel free to ask for more information !
