           Summary: Extreme IO using libre/openoffice
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/Radeon
        AssignedTo: dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: de.techno at gmail.com


Since the last few days and in many places, I've been wandering around posting
this - 

"I've been using KDE (QT) build of Openoffice on Gentoo and suddenly came
across
this strange problem which also persist with GTK openoffice and even
Libreoffice.

It appears Openoffice takes too much disk I/O when drawing toolbars, it takes 2
minutes to cold start OOo, and in the mean time the whole system is unusable (I
can hardly move the mouse) + the kernel hangs when I doing some other I/O
intensive tasks while OOo is loading, and sometimes it hangs even if I'm
nothing doing anything.

Since Base doesn't have many toolbars by default, it opens OK, but other things
are just horrible. 

Most important fact is that all this happens when composting is enabled with
Kwin.

Also I've seen, this problem persists only if Kwin render method is OpenGL, if
it's XRender, the problem's solved."

As bug reports or in forms.

The problem appears to come from the latest mesa (May 16th 2011), downgrading
to 7.10.2 solves the problem.
