I noticed this on my systems too (always at exactly 15%, btw)... from the
debugging information I was getting out of it, it seems to be using X to
render the document text at the time of the stall... I'm assuming the
issue is that kword is throwing everything ti can at the xserver, and on a
low end system the xserver is choking
