MSOffice 2003 (sorry, I do not closely follow trends and do not have Office 2007) Excel to Access - 45seconds OpenOffice 2.2 Calc to Base - 1m40 sec (6 minutes, if you enable primary key creation). http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76606 > contest. Oh, does MSOffice 2007 work on WINE on Linux yet? Since you insist - Office97 in WINE starts 3 times faster than OpenOffice2.1 (Linux) on the same machine. Office97 is functionally sufficient, so I do not care about 2007. People, we have to admit that we have performance problems and the problems are not being addressed because of lack of resources.
