*So, how long does it take to load the second time?* About 4 seconds. After doing this:
*kaye@laptop:~$ sudo suroot@laptop:/home/kaye# sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches* Yes, it opened slow again. Slow disk then? Should I replace it soon? *Drives? Presumably Patrick's fancy system uses SSD, maybe the OP has real hard drives.* It's still the original hard drive that came with the laptop. Bought the laptop nine years ago. *kaye@laptop:~$ libreoffice --safe-mode/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:3: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:4: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:5: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:6: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:7: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"(soffice:2173): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:21:41.576: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:3: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:4: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:5: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:6: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:7: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"(soffice:2193): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:22:08.569: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:3: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:4: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:5: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:6: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"/home/kaye/.gtkrc-2.0:7: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "foo.bar"(soffice:2206): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:22:11.748: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large(soffice:2206): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:22:11.811: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large(soffice:2206): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:22:12.953: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large(soffice:2206): Gdk-WARNING **: 10:22:29.022: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large*
