OpenOffice.org 1.9.104 starts up *very* slowly (~1 min.). When I launch it (any component), nothing happens for about one minute, then the splash screen comes and everything goes fine. P.S. I'm using the IBM JDK version 1.4.2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start openoffice (any component) Actual Results: Started only after ~1 min. Expected Results: Should have started ~10-20 secs.

well, it's beta software
Sorry, you mark a bug in a hard masked version as critical? Not taking this, this is beta, expect problems, there is a reason why it is not ready for general use
*** Bug 95474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please see the Bug 95474 . I believe this is the reason why it's starting up so slowly. Have you tried the openoffice 1.9.104 release directly from openoffice.org? I'm going to try that next and if that is broken also I will post a bug at openoffice.org .
The problem may be that you are using a 64bit version of java on a 64bit system and the openoffice that are all currently available are 32 bit binaries (unless you compile a 64bit from the source ..but this is pointless). I give a solution here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92378#c7
