Libre/Open-Office perform a DNS request on opening the first document.
The delay results if the name resolution fails. The workaround Lordinux
mentioned holds only for the special case of localhost. I encountered
the problem on my laptop but modifying /etc/hosts did not solve it.
Using wireshark it turned out that Libre/Open-Office wanted to resolve
the cups server since the default printer was set to be the one in the
office. This DNS request failed at home since the business intranet
could not be reached, therefore causing the issue. The easiest solution
in this case was to set the printer to a local one, e.g. cups-pdf.
