The OpenOffice.org project has released the second beta of version 2 of their office suite. "This is our second beta of OpenOffice.org 2.0. That means it probably has bugs; use caution. Download, test it out, and file bug reports with the QA Project."

no it is not decompression that is taking time, it is simple a matter of interpreting the xml and building a object tree. Compressing the file probably is helping you as it uses less HDD read time. Parsing XML, then building an object tree is as slow as it gets. But it could go down to a 5 to 8 seconds probably (just a wild guess).
What I would like to see is Oo.org using python as the script language and also to wizards and this kind of stuff that they are using java. Then they can maybe stop working on this uno bridge and let only a C/C++ api and a python script backend. Probably they can get funding from Mark Shutleworth and Ubuntu for that.
