None of the above is true.

From http://contributing.openoffice.org/programming.html

"Most of OpenOffice.org is written in C++. However, new features can be
added using Java, Python, StarBasic, or JavaScript."


Then why is is so much slower than Word (which already is quite slow for
my taste)?

It doesn't seem slow to me. I have a fast machine and if MS Word is any
faster (I wouldn't know never having felt inclined to pay that much money
for 'office' software) it wouldn't improve my productivity.

If you mean slow to start then maybe because you are running that office
quicklauncher thing (in Start Menu/Startup) which loads most of office into
memory at logon and keeps it there.

If it doesn't run on Java, then why does it need a JRE? Every test
between Open Office and MS Office shows O-O is extremely slow compared
to MS-O. The only plausible explaination to this is Java.
