I am not a fan of hidden gconf options.

1) This option seems like it would be a workbook level rather than
   an app level choice so that files from OO look right.

2) Hidding a pref doesn't help people.  The goal is to do the right
   thing without a pref.  If we need one, which I'm unconvinced of
   yet, they it should be visible and tuneable.

3) Sone of our current parameters could probably been merged into a
   single 'performance' setting to tune behavior for fast vs slow
   machines.
