Sure that's not just a slow disk drive?  Upgrading my Thinkpad X20 (2000
model laptop) from its old 10G 4200RPM drive to a 40G 5400RPM drive
basically halfed Open Office's startup time.  Upgrading the memory
didn't change the startup time measurably, but was helpful in
working with a couple of my really large documents.

(This is on FC1, by the way.  I need my Lucent winmodem and my minimal
Mach64 3D acceleration too much to toy with FC2 just yet :) )
