My PC conf is: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz × 2 wi 2Gb RAM
I am using LibreOffice 4.2.7.2
My libreoffice is extremely low, even when workin on empty documents. It may take 10 seconds to open the tools dropdown menu.
I tried several tricks published on this forum such as disabling the Java runtime environment (Why is my LibreOffice so slow?) and on other websites, i.e. increasing the memory cache ().
BTW: my PC has dual-boot and LibreOffice is working fine on windows vista.

Update to the comment by @Muzaffar
Your solution solved my problem, thanks! You should turn your comment into an answer.
UPDATE AFTER FEW HOURS OF TEST: in order to have libreoffice run smoothly I continuously have to delete the recent file history. It's frustrating. Since I work a lot on network files, I suspect that this might be the issue. Will post updates.
UPDATE AFTER THE COMMENT BY @lepe: My LibreOffice version is now 4.2.8.2 and the problem is still the same. I am positive that if I have some files accessed by VPN over the network in the recent files the application is more severely slowed down, but I have no idea on the reason. I just delete the recnt files every day (or more than once a day).
