As far as I know, Calc never does any parallel processing and uses only a single processor even if more are available. Parallel processing algorithms are significantly more complicated than serial algorithms and would be more difficult to implement, even though there could be a reduction in processing time.

If this answered your question please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the title. You can select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

Oh!... that's impossible! Your best show is to run multiple instances of openoffice/libreoffice as different users and split your task.
