Hi Aurélien,

Your times are what I'd expect to see – very strange however, as I'm 
seeing vastly and consistently longer launch times on my Xeon E3-1220 
system – same speed HDD as yours, 8GB RAM, and a fairly bare-bones 
Hipster install.

Launching OpenOffice via Gnome after having logged in and letting the 
system sit in an idle state for several minutes, it takes 2m45 seconds 
to see the OpenOffice splash screen. Rebooting the host system and 
repeating the same, I again see a consistent 2m45s launch time.

Subsequent launches of OpenOffice after having run the application once 
consistently come in at 45s, either launched from the Gnome menu, or 
launched via double-clicking on an existing ODT file.

Any pointers as to what's going on here? Certainly during the wait for 
the app there is no apparent heavy HDD activity at least.

Cheers,
Dave
