I have this on a fresh install from the 29/08/2012 ISO image. Using the top command and system monitor i saw that when Libreoffice (Writer) is loaded it loads soffice.bin and something called unity-panel-ser. Close Libreoffice and unity-panel-ser disappears from the top readout.

When unity-panel-ser firsts loads it uses 30% CPU and 3% MEM. After 1 minute it is at 99% CPU and 8% MEM. After 10 minute it is at 97-100% CPU and 24% MEM. It is running 1 core of this dual core CPU at 100% and the memory usage is increasing.

At this point the desktop is not updating and applications windows cannot be closed nor are the menu options available. It takes a hard re-set to shutdown the system. This is with Libreoffice 3.6.0.2 Build ID: 360m1 (Build 102).
