That has not been my experience. I timed how long it took for the 
application to be ready to use with my watch with a second hand on the same 
computer:

MS Word: 3 seconds

OpenOffice Write: 16 seconds

OO is so slow to even load a splash screen that the only way that I can 
tell that something is happening is with all the disk activity.
