OpenOffice lagging?

Oh I see, Open Office devs haven't quite got the hang of putting a full blown, feature rich, high-level language into an office suite so the user can quite happily blow their metaphorical foot off whenever they open a bloody spreadsheet!

I use Ubuntu and OSX and OO is the only thing that works identically across both systems. I bought Mac MS/Office last year and quite frankly it is atrocious, I am only glad my wife got it dirt-cheap through her college's student discount scheme and I didn't have to pay full whack for it!
