------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 25 08:54:18 -0700 2005 ------- I understand that XML is a rather verbose format, but even in binary you have to implement some kind of "serialization" of the data-structures you use to describe the document in memory. However, the problem I'm having is not just a mather of Calc being a fixed factor (say 2 or 4) slower than Excel to do the same thing. The factor is not fixed as you can gather from the table of values I posted initially. It doesn't seem to be a problem with a specific version or platform since I tried it on different machines, OSs and OOo versions. But your results don't measure up with mine. Your tests with a 10K lines file got aproximately the same time to open it and to save it. But my results were very differente. On OOo 1.1.2 it took 14 times more time to save the 10K lines file than to open it, and on OOo 1.9.90 it took 7 times more time. (I just did the test again and got the same results as before.) I'm wondering if you performed the same test. Note that I open the CSV file and save it as a SXC. The saving is what is taking so much time. I just did it again (with OOo 1.9.90) but this time I saved the file as a CSV with another name and it took half the time it has taken to open. So, please confirm again that you tested exactly the same thing as I did, saving the spreadsheet as a SXC and not as a CSV. And thanks for your patience. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
