I've got Applix 4.2 and it runs at a decent clip :)  It's got good
speed.  MUCH faster than StarOffice.  I don't know which is actually
better though.

I haven't tried WP Beta... however, given that web site, I think I
will.  I tried a beta of WP for Java and it was really cool.  It didn't
work too well... and it was extremely slow in Netscape... but it looked
cool :)
