Hourglass/Pause When Scrolling in LO Writer

I'm running Windows 7 Pro on a 5.5 year old Dell XPS 16. Just to put this in
context: For years, I continued to use MS Word from Office 2000. Then, it
started crashing. I switched to Open Office. Worked for awhile; then it
started crashing. Tried a number of fixes, none of which worked. Switched
to LO Writer. It doesn't crash, but it constantly gives me an
hourglass/pause when I use the vertical bar to move up or down a page. Odd
thing is that I never have the problem with spreadsheets; only with word
processors. Any ideas what might be causing LO to pause when scrolling? (I
should state that these are just text docs, no heavy graphics.)
