--- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
I can see how it may take several seconds to start on a busy system with small
memory and slow spinning disk.

The reason to remove the quickstarter from Linux was multiple problems with it
causing crashes (Rene Engelhard has details), while the functionality is only
implemented for gtk2 - so no way to use it with gtk3 or kde vcl plugins, and so
requiring non-native look and feel for LO to (supposedly?) be able to use the
function; no active maintainers who would fix all those bugs or implement it
for other plugins, which makes "maintenance" of it kind of fake: it compiles,
but no one knows how to fix/extend real problems. If a function is needed for
people, then among those interested people a maintainer is expected to appear,
as soon as the function is declared obsolete and prepared to removal, with some
proposal how to proceed without dumping it; that didn't happen.
