I'm not sure Joe will want to do that.  Help on my version 2.0.2 says:

- - - - - quote - - - - -
Size optimisation for XML format (no pretty printing)
When saving the document, OpenOffice.org writes the XML data without indents
and extra line breaks. This allows documents to be saved and opened more
quickly, and the file size is smaller.
- - - end quote - - -

I have the option selected and my saving times bear no comparison with
Joe's.  Saving should not freeze the system either.  The question really
belongs on a NeoOffice list or forum.
