Opening speeds can certainly vary with different extensions
loaded.  I cannot speak about Calc as I don't use it for much
other than very simple lists and calculation, but I noticed that
a large document under Writer takes 20-30 seconds to open when
Language Tool is installed, whereas without Language Tool it
opens nearly instantly. I regard this as a reasonable trade off -
I can remember working on documents with pen and ink, and later
with a manual typewriter; any word processor is preferable.=20
