It takes 15 seconds to start the open office word processor, running on my CAD 
workstation.  MS Word takes about 1 second.  And this is not having run either 
one of them since the last time the machine was booted so neither one has been 
cache'd.  This computer has a dual core intel processor overclocked to 3.8GHz, 
and a Western Digital velociraptor hard drive.  In my company we actually run 
Wordperfect so I don't have much experience with Word or OO.
