I've just checked, it took 62 seconds after I typed

oowriter 6k_long_file.sxw

to get to a point where I can move the cursor in Writer. And as a side effect, most of my other processes were swapped out - and this is an 1.6GHz processor with 512 MB RAM. At least it motivates me to write code so I could avoid writing implementation proposal documentation...

Bye,NAR
