I get a delay myself on Ubuntu 10.10 [GNOME desktop] for Writer as 
well.  The delay is not as bad most times, but it can be a problem.  I 
click on the file to open in LibreOffice.  When it comes up and I see 
the courser marking, it still is "frozen" for a few seconds with the 
time depending on the size of the file.  I usually keep LibreOffice's 
initial screen open and minimized to prevent more than 5 second delay.

I do wonder what is the cause/issue, but I hope it will be fixed or 
reduced in the 3.3.2 version.
So it is not just openSUSE that does it.  Ubuntu does as well.  I rarely 
use my Vista laptop so I will see if it does it there [later today since 
the boot time is long due to all the security packages I use to keep a 
Windows system safe online].
