Abstract
A method for obtaining server-side and client-side calculations performed in a document includes presenting, on a client computer, the document stored on a server and receiving an input, where the input causes a calculation in the document. The client computer performs the calculation on the client computer and sends the input to the server to concurrently perform the calculation on the server. The client computer obtains a first result from the calculation performed on the client computer and a second result from the calculation performed on the server, selects the first result or the second result as a selected result based on which of the first result or the second result is obtained quicker from the calculation performed on the client computer and the calculation performed on the server, and presents, in the document, the selected result to the user.
