OpenOffice (OOwriter) takes up to half a minute to start and load a small file. It was much faster under KDE3.0. Did anyone encounter the same problem? Is there anything one can do?

Probabely it is related to the way I installed one product over the other:
1.) Started with KDE 3.0 and OO 1.0 -> slow but tolerable,
2.) Installed OO 1.1 (actually didn't upgrade but installed it besides OO1.0)
-> OO 1.1 loads rather fast
3.) Upgraded from KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.1 that slowed OO down !

I found the answer to my question myself:
a)
Delete the file $HOME/[OO-Dir]/user/psprint/pspfontcache
Resart OpenOffice and close it immedeatly
A new pspfontcache file is generated
Make this file mode 444
Done
b)
Restart Openoffice again and increase the memory settings (options dialog)

Speeds things up from about 45 sec to 5 sec.

Sorry for my slang:

Make it "read-only", i.e. remove write permission for everybody: owner, group and others.

Did you do a "network" installation? I.e. installing it for multiple users?
If not, this file will be in your ooo installation directory! If you can't locate it, try using (if possible as root):

find / -name "pspfontcache*" -print

that should locate it!
