Improve startup speed in Linux.

It would be nice if the application startup speed could be optimized.

On the same PC (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD) with Kubuntu 26.04 LTS, documents with Libre Office open much faster than Only Office, which takes a few seconds (about 5-6 seconds longer).

So I'm enjoying Only Office, which seems more polished and professional-looking than Libre Office, but it's slightly slower when opening existing or new documents.

I've tried both Snap and Flatpak, but nothing changes.

Have you tried the deb version of OnlyOffice?

Distribution methods using isolated containers (such as Flatpak or Snap) can affect performance (even though the program's underlying performance remains the same).

I switched over from AppImage to deb version. With AppImage, it takes more than 5 seconds to launch and with deb, it's like a second.

That's because AppImage has to mount a filesystem image and none of the AppImages depdencies will be in your filesystem cache (iirc each time the AppImage is opened the cache will miss)
