OOo users usually complain about 2 types of OOo performance problems -
program-start time and open-file time. OOo developers focus on improving
program-start time so it is getting better. However, open-file time is
more serious for PC with low RAM, e.g. several minutes to open a few
megabytes spreadsheets.
For PC with low RAM (256M), Calc will have difficulties open typical
spreadsheets larger than a few megabytes because Calc use memory to hold
the document much less efficient than MS Office. See slide 21 for the
comparison. This seems hard/impossible to improve so my typical advice
to users is to add more RAM if they want to open larger files.
