Allow me to express my envy. I've had it take five minutes to load
large, complex legal documents in MS Word format (of course). We're
taking 2000 pages with hundreds of sections, thousands of footnotes, etc
- scary documents.

On the other hand, I've then quickly and easily made PDFs of them from
OO.o so the boss can use them quickly and easily.
