LO for Windows launches with a launcher that pre-loads it a boot time. I find Writer to be pretty pleasantly light-weight on a modern computer. A lot of its performance shortcomings are a bit exaggerated especially on modern equipment.

Pre-loading at boot time is a tradeoff, and it'd be nicer not to have to pay it.

Cold load times aren't terrible on modern systems, but wordpad is much faster. (Microsoft Office isn't great at fast loading either).
