Hi Dave,

This solved the issue for me. I had problems with 3.3.0, and did this 
back then, and do it with every new install I do:

*Change hosts setting in hosts file for LibreOffice:*
In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
You will see the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy

Add a line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
5) save
6) now OpenOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network 
connection is attached.

For anyone new reading this. replace "galaxy" with whatever you have 
named your computer.

Basics above are from    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9410791
