That's because you're in Canada and it is really cold there, so the disk
drives have to de-ice prior to spinning...

...do you have the OOo quickstarter launched? It REALLY helps out in the
speed up of OOo times. It also doesn't really take away from starting
KdE (which admittedgly takes about six hours).  

If you haven't, go to Geeko > System > Desktop Applet > OpenOffice.org
Quickstarter. It should ask a few questions and you're off.

Oh, and I just opened and excel spreadsheet in calc. I've got my 1.9 GHz
Centrino laptop with 1 GB of RAM. It loaded the spreadsheet in eight
seconds. (I am also ripping a Church CD in KAudioCreator, so that may
have added to the time.)
