Gnumeric fans will be interested in this paper, published November 2011

In case anyone does not have access to the paper, they conclude that
Gnumeric is still accuracy champ, a position it has held for at least
eight years, but that with Excel 2010 Microsoft are starting to draw
close.
The accuracy benchmarks they use have four or five tests in which
Gnumeric lags R. Perhaps these might be clues to some simple
improvements that could be made? I could try to find out some detail
on these tests if that would be helpful.
I imagine the authors would be happy to help as well, they seem like fans.
