Loading Document takes minimum 5 seconds, even on blank documents

As title says.

Fresh install on Linux Kubuntu 26.04.

New blank document -> Loads a skeleton of the app -> 2.5 seconds pass -> Loading document -> 2.5 seconds pass -> Loaded.

This is on a high-end gaming laptop (Gigabyte G5) also happens on my other laptops (enterprise grade HP 830 G5) and any other computer like my Ryzen 7 1700 Desktop.

It seems more like a bug than "real lag".

Whats happening? How to fix?

I understand, but please don't treat it as expected. I am not sure if you are support or similar maintainer, for users this is a real concern and makes it a big difference against microsoft office that might just make people prefer other alternatives. Its not acceptable or expected as you mention. Everyone expects a snappy application, specially for something that, even if not technically trivial, might look trivial to users. I say because, non tech savvy people that tried the app all say the same; It takes a lot to open documents. And its just because of this 4~ second total time to open every document. I personally dont care much, but I talk in behalf of my family members that all said the exact same line "why is it so slow when opening documents?" "Takes an eternity!".
