I can provide an example xls file with a few thousands lines that takes about 3 minutes to open in OOo but instantly in Excel. This forced us to use Excel on a recent project, just days after convincing my team to switch to OOo. Needless to say, everybody is back on MS Office, except for me and my Ubuntu installation. That means that I have a hard time sharing documents with the team, once again. The file is output data from materials testing equipment. Each of the four sheets has three columns of data and a chart. The file is 1.8 MB in size and does not contain confidential information, so I can freely share it upon request. I can post it to a bug if need be.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
