Don't underestimate the performance overhead created by file access etc. 
Notebook applications usually give instantaneous access - you won't 
reach that with single ODF documents.

If we restrict ourselves to Writer documents, the closest you can get to 
that "snappy" appearance is a container like a glossary file.
