Can't do much to speed up 30+ students all starting OOo at the SAME
time. It's going to be slow on pretty much any server.
The trick is to get the students to start OOo at slightly different
times. Like "okay this half of the class start now" then 1 min later
"now the rest of you". Once the app is launched the load drops way
down.
