Jake's comment does not actually imply that startup times have, in fact, become shorter. Maybe enough people have complained that OO.o starts too quickly for them to go to the kitchen downstairs, put the kettle on, make coffee, and carry the coffee back to their computer and still see the splash screen when they return. This would indicate that OO.o start times need to be increased in order to enhance user satisfaction, an issue that was subsequently »addressed in 3.0«.
This explanation would also neatly answer Michael Meeks's question.

So 3.0 starts 30% faster! Meeks needs to check his facts?

In conclusion, OpenOffice.org is generally getting slower with each release. However, startup performance has made great improvements, the performance losses are relatively small, advances in new computer hardware are more than making up the loses, and OpenOffice.org continues to mature with new features. OpenOffice.org doesn't compel users to upgrade, so you are welcome to continue using older versions.
