It's possible to select a different jvm to be used by OOo with tools->options->openoffice.org->java, so if someone has gcj as well as sun java installed, they can do a comparison of how long it takes for the wizards to appear using the two different versions on an otherwise equal installation. I don't have the two here, but from memory starting the wizards under sun java was never particularly snappy either. C.
