I forgot to mention I never noticed this on the RH 8.0 release OpenOffice.
Saw same problem on my Athlon XP 1600+, 256MB DDR SDRAM with a stock install of RH9, nothing tweaked. I think it may depend on how much RAM you have installed. It is pretty severe with only 256MB. Before trying the right-click-correct operation on a misspelled word, soffice.bin was using 87MB of memory. After I performed this operation and lost control of my X-windows UI for a while I was able to check the process again and saw it was consuming 252MB of memory. I'm now using my swap space quite heavily and that is not good.
