Narrative:

Planned on SEAVU1 runway 25L arrival lax. Passing konzl and 17000 ft given seavu runway 24R. First officer (pilot monitoring) began rebuilding approach whilst captain flew the arrival. At approximately 12000 ft approaching dixxn; los angeles approach changed landing runway to runway 25L. (At luvyn; the runway 25L and runway 24R approachs take different ground tracks.) without a valid navigation display; the captain flew an estimated heading to krain; while first officer rebuilt the approach the second time. When correct navigation display was reinserted; the crew realized that aircraft ground track deviated slightly north of prescribed track. The remainder of the approach and landing was uneventful. The reloading of the arrival was exacerbated by the extremely slow FMC processor in the A300. We did not perceive any loss of separation; nor did we receive any calls or comments from los angeles approach control.
