- jdironman 4y agoTo be honest, I use both daily. MSOffice for work, and LibreOffice for personal usage and I cannot tell a difference performance wise. However, my use case is limited to simple budgetary spreadsheets, simple docs, etc. If you are working with large datasets in excel or something than things might differ. Or maybe the performance depends on the hardware both are being run on possibly. Classic case of "it works on my computer" I guess.
- unionpivo 4y agoDepending on what you do. We need to process, millions of documents a day, and headless libre-office is a lot faster (an order of magnitude) than driving word. So far no other library does what we need (I mostly just administers the cluster that does this). I know that's not what people mean when they compare "speed" of office suits, but some thing's libre office does are a lot faster than MS office. Another place where libre office is better than excel is opening and manipulating huge CSV files, with millions of rows.
