Pasha, if you don't have a requirement for Windows my suggestion would be
switch to Elementary OS, https://elementary.io/. It's a Linux distribution
built with a focus on fast performance. I'm using it with AOO latest
version on 5 year old laptop (Pentium T4500 @ 2.3GHz and 4 GB RAM) with
very good performance.

To improve AOO start time make sure the OpenOffice Quickstarter is enabled.
Find that by Tools > Options > OpenOffice > Memory and tick the "Enable
systray Quickstarter" item.

Since you describe slow start on first opening any program and normal
starts thereafter I expect you will find Quickstarter is not enabled.
