The time when you feel OO.o startup time the most is when you have to wait for the computer to boot and then OO.o to start, it seems like forever.

Indeed. I recently found that if I want to just view a single PowerPoint file on Linux, it is about 10x faster to start wine + Microsoft's PowerPoint viewer, than to start OO.o to view the file. Sad.
