    Then there is something seriously wrong with your system.  My machine is
old.  An AMD 2800+ admittedly OCed to 3200+, 2Gb of 2700 RAM and a 200Gb Sata
drive.  I built this machine 5 years ago.  To open oowriter, navigate to my
17pg. document and open it, less than a minute.  The document itself was
opened almost instantly.  I don't happen to have a 93 byte .csv to test with.
 However, I have used OOCalc a bit for some of my gaming.  The resulting
spreadsheets were a tad larger than 93 bytes.  ;)

    Let me put this in complete perspective.  I'm almost positive that my 10
year old PIII 667Mhz laptop w/256Mb of PC100 RAM might take 95 seconds from
command-line to loading document.
