Hi Chris, Here's a copy of what I got when I ran "free -m" while the xls document was open in OO calc:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2009 1993 16 0 72 1037 -/+ buffers/cache: 883 1126 Swap: 5820 0 5820 Do you think there is a problem? Altering some of the data in the file and then saving in xls format the System Monitor showed I used 59.7% (1.2GB) of Memory and 0.1% of swap. However the CPU (set "on demand") shot up to 100%. Is there some way to reconfigure my system? - David.
