Open Office 2.3 took ages
2.4 is much quicker: 16 secs on a Epia-M Mini-Itx


http://www.openoffice.org/news/index.html

Please note that OpenOffice.org version 2.4, released on 27th March, fixed a number 
of security vulnerabilities. To our knowledge, none of these has been exploited; 
however, in accordance with industry best practice, we recommend all users upgrade 
to 2.4.

This information was withheld intially to ensure that all the products derived from 
the OpenOffice.org codebase had time to include these security fixes before the 
public announcement of the vulnerabilities.
