After update to PR1.1 I got a fatal error on starting openoffice ('user interface language cannot be determined' fatal error) - odd, but a quick search turned up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586455 and I chowned openoffice.org to user:users and all was well. I got the same speedup as Ernesto, much, much faster after the update.

Very happy bunny. Used ooo on n810 extensively and now the expected speed is there from the n900...
