Umm, what kind of system are you on that gnumeric is too big? I'm on a
366MHz system with 256MB RAM -- even when I had only 96MB RAM, gnumeric
opened in a matter of one or two seconds. I still prefer using it to
OO.o's calc. True, you need to have a bunch of GNOME libraries
installed, but then, there's a lot of apps out there that do.

I've used ApplixOffice's spreadsheet as well, and it's quite fast, if
not as featureful; it's also commercial and non-free. I believe Siag
Office has one, but I don't know how 'big' is big to you.
You could always export your data to csv or tab-delimited and edit in a
text editor... ;-)
