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.
