I love Gnumeric. It's the program that enabled me to switch to Linux. I'm currently running Gnumeric 1.7.11 under Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) on a 2.26Ghz Pentium 4 w/512MB ram.
I have a problem, though; a gigantic spreadsheet that I converted from Excel. It keeps growing, with one row of data being added for each day the stock market is open. Under WinXP, I don't recall having any performance issues using it with Excel. Under Ubuntu, OpenOffice Calc can't handle the spreadsheet. That was the deal breaker until I found Gnumeric. Performance as a .gnumeric was a bit sluggish but acceptable. Now, about 9 months later, I'm addicted to Gnumeric, but performance has nearly become unacceptable, and I'm looking for a solution. I've got manual recalculation set. A manual recalc takes up to 1 minute. Inserting a row into my main sheet can also take a long time. Before I upgrade my hardware, I'm hoping someone will try to use my spreadsheet on a more capable machine, in order to see if upgrading solves the problem. Can I just attach it to an e-mail to this list? I'm also thinking of switching to use a database to hold all the data and then somehow using Gnumeric to generate all the charts I need. This seems like too much work, though. And finally, I've thought about breaking it up into multiple spreadsheets. I'd rather not do this, either. Thanks. -- -eom-
