The only trick that might work - but it might also not work - depending on how much initialization is done at startup - is to start the software, force a core dump, then load and run the core dump. There are some issues which may make this procedure fail as well. For the most part, you're stuck with waiting each time you restart some software.

In the case of OpenOffice, if you're using Gnome, you can install openoffice.org-gnome, start the program, click Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Memory, tick the "enable systray quickstarter" box, and log yourself off and on. That will make OpenOffice run permanently in the background, so that you should get almost instant start-up of any of its components. Of course you need to have reasonable memory so that it doesn't slow down the rest of your system.

P.S. I just noticed - 128MB RAM! Waste of time. The solution is to add more memory.
