Hi Colin-2, 
I also use LO Portable, however I usually run it off my local hard drive
(long story, don't ask).  I usually find that it takes a while to start up,
but not as long as 2 minutes.  I think 20 to 30 seconds is more likely (from
cold start).

I just tested if from my flash disk (using the portableApps launcher), took
about 30 seconds, although I am using Windows 7.  Do you have all the
Windows XP service packs installed (I believe the latest is SP3)?  You can
check this by right-clicking on "My Computer" > Properties.

The link for the LibreOfficePortable forum is:
http://portableapps.com/forums/support/libreoffice_portable
I know there have been some discussions about start-up time of LO portable,
if not in the LO portable forum then elsewhere on the PortableApps site. 
Unfortunately, I can't really remember the suggestions (except disabling
tooltips or something), so you'll probably have to check it out yourself.

Regards
Jack
