Latest version for CentOS 5.5 is
openoffice.org-writer-3.1.1-19.5.el5_5.1
Where did you obtain 3.2 from? That may be your slowness as on my 64
bit workstation I see none at all. Loads in about 3 secs.
evolution-2.12.3-19.el5:
Now Evolution on my 32 bit workstation I have 1555 emails in it and it
is not slow, 8 different email accounts also, especially even though it
is GUI based instead of console. About every 2000 mails I back it up
and start over again from 0.

Converting a *.doc file to *.pdf only takes about 3 secs. What type of
Graphics card you have? Yea I know weird question but can cause your
problem also.

Looked at your memory usage? Is it swapping by chance? #free. Have you
looked at top while using those apps? What about spamd in Evolution?
Disable all non needed services.
Here is the memory for my 32 bit workstation for Evolution + spamd + a
few consoles/pine opened + firefox. & sometimes links & screen. No
problem here what so ever.
