Is this because of the use of JAVA with BASE, vs a potentially faster "something else"?
Yes but not only: it's also because
1. Any OO.org application's GUI is not native, so it takes longer to start up the application and draw something on the screen
2. Looks like OO.org Base is in fact bouild on top of Writer's. It's curious hack but you are obviously not going to love it: try to click some more times on the form's surface and you will get Writer's cursor ready to entering text. Looks a bit like a mockup, not a real app made from scrach.... I've been also able to see "Writer" name on one of Base's title bars..
