processing bogs down

Hi, I am not sure if this is a java or imageJ issue.

I am running Suse 10.2 (64-bit) and the imageJ 1.39j (but what I am
about to describe has been an issue with previous versions too).

I was using Java 1.5 and recently switched to java 1.6 - same thing.

Basically, whenever I do an operation, like simply renaming a window,
imageJ pauses for a few seconds.  This happens with many many such
simple things. Another example is highlighting a ROI and clicking 'm' to
measure - the first time I do that after opening imageJ - there is a
very long pause.  But then all subsequent attempts are fast (not the
case with renaming a window, that always takes a few seconds).

Can anyone offer advice on how to track these problems down?  I do a lot
of image analysis and these little slow downs accumulate to a lot of
time ...
