Calligra has much lower user satisfaction ratings than LibreOffice. Does Calligra offer any features compelling enough to use it vs. one of the other FOSS office suites?

LO has way more features though, it's not even a fair comparison. And something that ticks me off about Calligra and OnlyOffice is that they can't do partial word counts, as in the word count of the highlighted portion of the document only. Small things like these sting more than more niche features that you might not miss.
Still, it's nice looking and fast and adequate for a lot of basic documents.
Took 21 seconds on my 6 year old laptop with an i3 and 8GB of RAM. No SSD though, just a 5400rpm HDD. The second load was about 4 seconds though.
Kinda reminds me, back in the day Microsoft would add a startup service that would preload Internet Explorer and Word (I think those two) into memory, because they started so slowly by default. Trying to get a leg up on the competition, I suppose, since obviously Firefox or what have you wasn't pulling similar tricks. I'd disable stuff like that in msconfig to get a faster boot time, but was always shocked by how slow Word would load after that.

I would not bet on that number being at all reliable based on their vague description.
