Well the issue is that Eclipse _took FOREVER_ to start, much like what you are describiong right now with OO (albeit I use FBSD with OO in older hw w/ no problems). Anyway, chack to see if you may have a broken Java implementation, and check to see if it's possible to get OO to work with Sun's JRE 6, and give that a go and see. I have a gut feeling your problem is related to a broken Java VM somewhere in your machine.
