Well - interesting news ...
I have ImageJ 1.39j and java 1.6.0
here is the script I WAS using
java -Xmx1536m -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit -jar ij.jar
but was experiencing the problems I described. (I am using KDE too)
so - I tried removing the Motif toolkit and used this script
java -Xmx1536m -jar ij.jar
and now everything is lightning fast!
I verified this by immediately re-running the old script and things
bogged down again ...
I would be glad to provide more detailed information about my system if
it will help track down the problem for others ...
but for me - it seems that it runs BETTER without the Motif toolkit ...
