Well, it takes about a minute to start here, but this machine is considerably slower than yours, so I think you've got a problem. Does "free" show all your memory?
Free gives:

Does hdparm show DMA enabled on your disks?
All SCSI
If you run openoffice from an xterm-like, do you get any errors on it, especially about network things?
