I concur, OpenOffice/LibreOffice circa 2014 UI and document rendering felt horribly slow on Windows (one could _see_ elements being rendered), contemporary MS Office felt so much faster in comparison on the same machine. Together with the extravagant-lloking UI, OO/LO was simply frustrating to use.
I checked latest stable OO 4.1.6 and LO 6.2.4 on the same machine: while still not instant, the rendering is much faster now indeed and does not feel frustrating. The LO 6.2.4 default UI looks so much better too.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
