When saving a file (including autosaving), in any of the OpenOffice suite, the
GUI is locked until the save is complete.  When a user is working on a file that
is in a remote location, or in any case has a low data rate connection to the
client, it can take many minutes to save (or autosave) a file, during which time
the user has to simply do something else.

In my case, I am reporting this issue due to problems working on a file that is
stored on a samba share on the local network.  The file contains images and is
several megabytes in size.  During heavy network load it can take up to ten
minutes before I am allowed to resume editing.

However, it is not clear why this should be the case.  The GUI should perhaps be
locked while the serialized file representation of the document is compiled in
memory from the current state of the document.  However, the saving of this
could and should be done in a separate process, allowing the GUI to be unlocked
in the meanwhile for further editing.
