It even feels heavier than Office on windows (on linux it feels much better).
Likely feels that way because it has to load the Java runtime before launching.
I believe, it only loads a Java runtime for the JDBC database driver in LibreOffice Base. At least, you can tell it in the settings to not use a Java runtime and that seems to not affect the remaining functionality...
Tbh I don't use Windows or libre office so I'm just guessing. Back in the day I just know it took what felt like forever to load initially (and my pc fans took flight each time) but so did MS office 🤷
