After my last pacman -Syu, to open and close documents in openoffice and gimp takes minutes and consumes 90% CPU.
Once opened everything seems to be fine.
Downgrading gtk2 does not solve the problem.
Any ideas

I had the same problem tomorrow after an upgrade on a computer in my office. Also acroread had the same problem. I had correlated this problem with the fact that I used packages from testing and unstable repository. So I had reinstalled Arch to solve the problem because I hadn't time to check where is the problem.
The problem is solved but I'm curious for a soft solution.

I am not using testing nor unstable.
I you solved the problem reinstalling the entire system must be something in the upgrading process.
I tried tho delete the .gimp folder and reinstall gimp but the problem persists.

As root everything works fine.
Maybe something related to permissions?
It takes about 1 minute to open close or save files in gimp or openoffice. During that minute the program is consuming 90% CPU and memory and swap consumption grows a lot.
I have no idea where to look for.

It isn't your case, but in another computer also with testing and unstable packages, I had the same problem.
So I commented the testing and unstable lines in pacman.conf, I removed openoffice-base and I reinstalled it again.
The problem was solved.

i had the same problem, but reinstalling packages with pacman didn't helped me
on strace i saw that openoffice before freeze opens ~/.recently-used
i've try:
chmod 0400 ~/.recently-used
and now OpenOffice works fine
if you want to make
chmod 0400 ~/.recently-used
every time when you open OpenOffice just write that line in /opt/openoffice/program/soffice script
you schould write it on begin of the file, after the comments, in my script it's line 42
