Doesn't work properly
It sounds like it doesn't work properly.
Have you got an antivirus program which could be slowing it down, and are you using USB 1.1 or 2?
Well I use Avast Antivirus in
Well I use Avast Antivirus in my system, and my ports are 2.0 if I'm not wrong.

Could it be the drive?
I also use Avast, and it doesn't slow anything down appreciably.
If you have USB 2.0 ports, then the problem could be the drive itself.
Some off-brand or knockoff drives use substandard materials.
Even reputable manufacturers can have an occasional bad drive.
If you want to isolate the problem, try the drive in another computer, and try a different drive in your computer.

Probably slow memory
I found a nice program that tests the speed of your flash drive. I have a few (had, i gave the slow ones away
with a copy of PAF suite, of course).
The program is: (one sec)... USBDeview ... short for USB Device Viewer, i suppose.
I believe i got it on Pendriveapps.com
it is available in several locations...
try this one;

Are all apps equally slow?
Some of the larger apps, like OpenOffice, Firefox, or VLC are relatively slow when opening, while smaller ones like FileZilla open more quickly.
Usually the splash screen shows up quickly regardless of the app.
And is it actually one or two minutes?
That's a pretty long time, and I know that myself, I can overestimate how long things take on a computer; so if you could time them, and see if different apps load at different speeds, we might be able to tell you a little more.

Basically with OpenOfice,
