Good advice.
Seems to be the font handling conflict with OpenOffice. One I dumped OOo and re-booted everything is running at a very adequate pace. Thanks again.

This is very interesting news. I bet that OOo's duplication of all fonts using the Fondu tool is to blame in this case. Since OOo cannot use native fonts, it uses the Fondu tool to make a separate copy of every system font! Loading all of those extra fonts can consume a lot of system memory and slow everything down.
OpenOffice.org 2.0 by default creates converted copies of all of your installed Mac fonts. Because these fonts are stored inside an application bundle in OpenOffice.org 2.0 (as opposed to simply being in a normal folder in OpenOffice.org 1.1.2), all of the duplicate fonts are loaded by the Apple Type Server (ATS) process and made available to Mac OS X apps. These duplicate fonts seriously degrade the performance of NeoOffice, may cause fonts to display incorrectly, and may even cause crashes.
