I won't insist on 64 bits, because I use machines that work on 32 bits, 
but the affirmation that Excel is more faster than Calc is true.  I have 
been working the last six weeks with databases from a census, and can 
confirm the following:

-- Calc is really slow with lots of data.  When the book requires more 
than 384 MB of memory, it slows down to an impractical speed.  Days ago, 
I spent the whole day building a crosstab.

Open/Save is really slow and does not help a different file format to 
speed up things.

Another difficult thing, is with sorting and filtering.  Is slow too.
