Loaded a 2.1 MB M$ Word document with tables/text/graphics into an open
instance of OOo Writer (FC3T1/OOo under VMware VM on Athlon MP Dual 1800
+) from an NFS-mounted directory and it took less than 20 seconds.
Saving the same document to a local directory on the VM virtual disk
took ~ 30 seconds, and shrunk to 1.3 MB.  Starting OOo from scratch on
this document from the GUI took ~ 20 seconds.  Not too slow for me.
