1- This model predicts that there will be plenty of Amish people by 2150. But being them rather refractory to the present ever increasing consumption culture if their numbers become significant it will result in the collapse of such model which is which allows them to multiply so fast so their numbers will not follow the model. It looks like a self limiting process.
2.- Given the fact that our civilization is going to collapse one way or another, as all its predecessors did, the taking over of the world by the Amish is hardly the worst alternative I can envision.
Some time ago I was told than in in order to maintain their sovereignty all nations should develop their own nukes. They should be small so they could be smuggled or even mailed to the enemy and no expensive and easy to destroy missiles or other delivery system like that are required
I found that thought outrageous.
After reading your post I will maybe have to review my first impression.

I have just tested times OO 2.0 and Ms office 2003 took from icon click to a blank text document, results are:
OO: 22 seconds
Ms O: 15 seconds.
Not big deal to me. I am not movic to ms office any time soon
Absolute difference would probably be lower in newer machines.
Regards.
