Ah, I did not understood that the times are loadind + closing, I thought it 
was loading only.

Otherwise, the load of a file saved by KWord could be slower than a KWord file 
generated by a filter, as the filter does not generate all tags.

However, I forgot that a filter has to compress the output file, so there 
cannot be a time gain in the whole loading.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
