First thing to do is - file a bug :-) secondly - it would be great to know if this is a regression from OO.o :-) thirdly - it would be wonderful to know what kind of use pattern you're using - if it is load/edit/save/close in a loop - then - there are some known memory leaks that cause serious grief (sadly) and chasing these is a matter of time and effort and extreme slowness using: valgrind --leak-check=full ./soffice.bin /tmp/val-log and filing the log after a set of user interactions. An easier way to prod this is to use: pmap `pidof soffice.bin` | grep writable and watch that as you do various operations; particularly looking for jumps, or any slow increment while you're doing things. Anyhow - would be great to have help with this ! :-) All the best, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com , Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

I, too, would like to see it fixed. However (and here's the annoying part) it's rather difficult to track these sorts of vague issues down. If you can find a directly repeatable use case, like save 5 files over 100KiB in size, reload twice, and you can *really* notice the slow down you would be doing the devs (and yourself!) wonders. Unfortunately, because these gradual slow downs are caused by a number of different pieces of the code and in small increments, there's likely not a single action to say Aha! There's the bugger. One slow down of which I've become aware is in charting with Calc. Clicking in and out of a chart is a nightmare after 5 minutes of heavy use. With luck, now that there's an articulated example, someone may have more luck tracking down that particular issue. Is there something like this available for LO? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance:Leak_Tools I'm a standard 'user' (linux, but I also test on WinXP Win7 (if forced:-)), so if someone can point to debugging tools/procedures I'll be happy to test. ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
