OpenOffice.org is on RC10 right now, while LibreO is on RC4.
What I have been seeing in these threads lead me to believe
that the people are slower to put out a RC version, but also
may wait between RC version for more of the work to be done

Actually I believe that the 3.3 release process should not be taken as a
reference at all, but LibreOffice is definitely not slower, it's faster;
it merely started the RC phase later. Here are the relevant RC dates:

2010-11-29 OpenOffice.org RC7
2010-12-05 LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC1
2010-12-17 OpenOffice.org RC8
2010-12-23 LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC2
2011-01-13 LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC3
2011-01-14 OpenOffice.org RC9
2011-01-20 LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4
2011-01-21 OpenOffice.org RC10

so the average lifespan of a Release Candidate in this period was 18
days for OpenOffice.org and 15 days for LibreOffice. Then I should
repeat that the 3.3 release process was definitely not standard on
either side, so a comparison like this one will make more sense in
future releases.
