Bug ID: 95244
Summary: Writer is too slow to use when there are many comments
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: l...@zeta.org.au
I have two files - both large, about 120,000 words long. One is the manuscript
for my novel, which LO edits in quite a snappy fashion (let's call this MS).
The other is basically the same, but with a very large number of comments from
a professional editor (let's call this MS-ed): LO clearly has some kind of
O(N^2) algorithm (or worse) when it comes to handling comments, since it
struggles horribly to edit this file. (Both are in .odt format.) Maybe LO is
using a linked list structure to hold all the comments? :-(
The number of comments is not something which is reported in the Document
Properties->Statistics, so I have to estimate the number. There are 339 pages,
so I roughly estimate somewhere between 1000 and 3000 comments.
If I hover over the drop-down arrow on a comment, the balloon text appears
quite promptly. If I then click on the arrow to pull up the context menu for
the comment, I have to wait about 12-17 secs for the menu to appear. If I
choose to delete the comment, that operation takes between 10-15 secs to
complete.
My workaround is to break the document with comments ("MS-ed") into two halves,
and work on each half independently. By halving the document, the time to pull
up the Comment context menu drops to about 1 sec, as does the time for the
Delete Comment operation to complete.
Some of the comments are lengthy, BTW (e.g. 100 words). Average comment text
length is maybe 20 words.
This is on an Intel NUC (AMD x64) with 16GB RAM.
Ubuntu 14.04.
Hope this information is helpful.
