Just had another thought about known things that can slow LO down :
fonts, well actually, the number of fonts installed on your system.

If you have a large number of fonts installed, that can certainly slow
LO down, as can a large number of spell check dictionaries.

Does the delay between keypress and startup only happen when you first
load a document ? If so, these are known bugs for which there are 2
potential causes :

- loading all of the configuration files into memory, even though they
may not be needed ;

- reading entries from the accor.dat (personalised dictionary entries)
when this is close to the authorised size limit of that file (60kb ??)


I think the first one was fixed for 3.5.1, I can't say for the second one.
