--- Comment #39 from Carl Michal <michal at physics.ubc.ca> ---
I think I see a problem that is the same as what's described here. Libreoffice
was taking forever to load documents. If started without a document to open, it
would start normally, but then when a document was opened it would hang for 60
seconds or more. Afterwards it would run ok, except sometimes would again hang
for a minute or two.

I noticed that it didn't happen if there was no network connection.

I finally found this report and it connected the dots for me. I recently set up
a printer with microsoft's built-in 'Save to PDF' driver, that spools to a
linux cups server. Today I'm on a network now where that cups server is
unreachable. My printer was configured via: "Select a shared printer by name"
with an address of the form: http://server.ip.add.ress:631/printers/queue_name

Seems like that should be straightforward to reproduce.

As soon as I deleted that printer queue, the problem is gone.
