No application should require 30 minutes to load.
Shut down all Office applications. Go to the Preferences folder in your user account and remove the folder "Office 2008" within the "Microsoft" folder. Office 2008 doesn't use a Normal template file, but the old one from 2004 can still supposedly slow it down. In your user account, go to the /Documents/Microsoft User Data/ folder and remove the file named "Normal".
Office 2008 also installs a heck of a lot of fonts that don't need to be active to use the programs. If you're kind of short on RAM, the fonts may be taking up too much space in RAM. To deactivate them, go to the /Library/Fonts/ folder and move the entire folder name Microsoft to the desktop.
