maybe oo has nicer looking fonts. It starts a little bit faster, but after
that no difference in speed.

extremly long. So long that you have to start ooo several times a day for a
year so that the saved startup time equalizes the time spent compiling it.

If you are even able to. Openoffice is a bitch to compile. Even the slightest
change might break the compilation. It really, really sucks. IMHO openoffice
is a nice example for everything that is wrong.

Go with openoffice-bin.
