I upgraded to AOO 4.0.1, so out of curiosity I tried to access the .xlsx
file at the Cornell site. Results were the same; after about 20 minutes
the progress bar showed about 25% of the file loaded and I had to use
the Windows Task Manager to terminate soffice.bin to stop it.

It's simply an analysis of the pathological characteristics of this
document. This is needed as a first step in investigating why OpenOffice
is slow in opening it.

Thanks for opening a bug on this. I don't understand the comment from
Andreas Säger; does that mean no action will be taken on the bug?

It opens normally for me with 4.0.1; however, it takes unacceptably long
(13 minutes in my case). I opened
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123429
since this is definitely a performance bug.
