One thought - if you export as DDL you could probably run search and
replace for the page size in your favourite text editor and then bring
it back into OPro.

Default frame size on master pages is defined by the margins, so if
you didn't change the margins the frames will all have re-sized
relative to the new page size. The text will have re-flowed and
probably newly blank pages deleted. This probably explains the time it
took.
