You are not alone, many people wonder and the developers already started trying to solve this problem. There are a lot of known problems as well as some ways to fix them but this is something that needs to be investigated carefully. Expect to see something happen in future versions.
I'm looking forward to it. Otherwise Calc is fine, at least for my needs. Oh, it's a bit slower than Excel when chewing through some recalculations, but not enough to matter.
It's too much to discuss this on a list like this one. My personal presumption is that the disk thrashing is caused just by the memory consumption of Calc loading the big file (not by the file itself). You can try to observe this by yourself when you load a big file. Of course reading Calc (ODF) XML will never be as fast as reading a csv file but it *can* become fast enough to be bearable. Let's wait and see.
Will do. Thanks, Mathias. -- Rod --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
