Even is, no doubt, comparing loading data formats being (almost) memory dumps 
(XLS, 2 sec) versus XML (ODS, 141 sec) is a bit questionable, I agree current 
OO.org version could have flaws somewhere. I hope they have not implemented 
some expotential algorighms :)

My version of KSpread consumed the rest of my free memory (~330MB) and 
crashed... (funny but swap was not used very much, why?)

Some people may answer that handling thousands rows of speadsheet is a 
nonsense as after converting the data to any database will result in constant 
time of opening and creating. I'd say even more: it's poor that Excel is 
optimized here (and hardware is so fast) because otherwise we could see more 
people convinced to databases.

BTW, I've grabbed both these test XML files last week (tested them with 
similar results as have been presented). Later I'll use the files test 
import/export speed of Kexi data migration module :)
