Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

Hi :)
Superb!  I just visited that list too and looks like some good names in there that have a good 
reputation rather than just being  big names (although sometimes things have both).  


Have you tried Gnumeric?  If you need a fast, light-weight (but powerful) dedicated spreadsheet 
program without worrying about having all the rest of the programs then Gnumeric kinda knocks the 
socks off Calc (and Excel) 

http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/

but it doesn't have such tight integration with other apps and things in the way Calc has.  So, "it 
just does what it says on the tin", ie it only does spreadsheet functions.  Oh, and it looks a bit 
Win98 for it's Gui and website which fools people into missing the power "under the bonnet".  There 
is a good argument for using Writer for the odd document here or there and then Gnumeric  if you 
use spreadsheets a LOT.  

If you do try Gnumeric please let us know how it compares 
Regards from 
Tom :)
