	Great.

	Good stuff, I look forward to that. Ultimately I would love to get some
C++ versions of these that we can run in our valgrind test suite:

	https://perf.libreoffice.org/

	Which was created by another heroic voluteer: Markus Mohrhard.

	Well - you can see the volunteer project cares about performance, is
interested in technical excellence - and of course attracting smart
cookies like yourselves to get involved and help us improve things.

	From a quick skim, I don't see why any of your DataSpread design goals
cannot be achieved on top of calc - they overlap with things we'd like
to do but have no time to get to (modulo discarding the core in favor of
a SQL database =) - but then viewing large databases in Calc is
something that would be rather cool ;-).

	All the best,

		Michael.
