Hello All:
Is there a trick to working with large files in calc? The same
spreadsheet opens and saves in a few seconds with excel and gnumeric.
Apparently not. I've had similar problems (see
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1905 ), and they don't
seem to care much.
I guess our usage doesn't fit the profile of the
users that they care about...
Not true. There are a few solutions which are being discussed and
tested, but
it is not a trivial problem. The solution would also help ALL users
open
their docs quicker not just large docs.
After reading this thread, I did some test on my machine and this is
an issue. I noticed that some sheets that I work on took time to save
but didn't really affect productivity. Yesterday during my tests, the
autosave kicked in. My test file took 11 minutes to save. 11 minutes
that prevented me from working on the spreadsheet.
I am going to add my comments to the bug listed above as this is an
issue for usage in larger organization. I am just setting up a
spreadsheet that would be larger than my test one.
This is in Linux so the usage of Excel is not an option.

Could you compare to Gnumeric on linux? The original post mentioned
that gnumeric provided performance similar to excel.

I was actually going to try that before I submitted my report. I don't
have gnumeric on my computer at this time and am installing it as I
respond. I just don't have the ability to do 100 things at once, I
don't have enough hands. I must be getting old. :)
Problems.
Gnumeric doesn't support ODF spreadsheets.
KSpread says it will open ODF spreadsheets but crashes on every
attempt to open the file.

Also this topic came up on /. today.

I am about to put my data into the issue 1905.
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1905
On Linux (FC4), I noticed that OOo opens much quicker than it did
after a recent kernel upgrade. This affected my times and made both
loading and recalculating faster.
