This is an interesting comparison of OpenOffice 2.0 Calc and MS Office 2003 Excel. The author found that OOo is slow in some operations and takes a lot of RAM & CPU.

So sue me. People also have very, very few spreadsheets that are of an extremely large size running to many pages and thousands tens of thousands of rows. They just want to get general work done. The only spreadsheets that are that size tend to be autogenerated, and as such, the data probably shouldn't be in a spreadsheet at all. Open Office free and it handles all my spreadsheets within a pretty reasonable amount of time. Can't say more than that.
This just seems to be an article, not just directed at Open Office, but at the Open Document Format as a bad, slow, memory hogging standard file format. I can't think why. I also wonder why he points to an SXC file and not an ODF one. Does anybody reckon he's getting paid for this?
