LibreOffice takes 30 seconds to start. OO started almost immediately
Installed LibreOffice, no problems but when I click on LibreWriter it takes 30 seconds before it's ready to go. I played with Memory in Options, no improvement. I unchecked Java, no improvement.

Was that the first time you opened the application? Sometimes it is slow only during the first time, or immediately after some update.

Could you please be more specific about the question ? You would like to understand why is it taking much longer ? Also please let us know how/where did you get it from.

Try using the systray quickstarter. Openoffice most likely is, and that is why it starts immediately.

This is a known problem, at least on Arch Linux.
The problem is that LibreOffice tries to communicate with a WINS server (provided by Samba, I guess). If you do not have such server LibreOffice waits until the packets time out before continue loading.

In 6.x the previous solution is not available anymore.
But as indicated under the third step mentioned here, disabling Java in LO considerably increases its startup speed.
If all you use is Writer and Calc, disabling Java will not stop you
from working with your files as normal. But to use LibreOffice Base
and some other special features, you may need to re-enable it again.
In that case, you will get a popup asking if you wish to turn it back
on.
