I have never seen word open instantly. When I do it there is always a second or two for teh obnoxious splash screen, then often 10 to 15 seconds waiting for it to do whatever. Notepad++, yeah, that opens nearly instantly. I mostly use Ubuntu and there Libreoffice still has a stupid splash screen. After that though the amount of time is too small for me to count.
