This may be completely irrelevant to your situation, if so I'm sorry for
wasting your time.
I used to see gradually increasing response times until I changed the
Tools -> Options -> Memory -> Undo Number of Steps. I think I had set it
to a really high number at one time, like 100+, I've changed it back
down to 16 now, and I've not seen this slowdown problem since then.
But setting it really high in the first place was something that I did,
it was not the default setting. And I don't know if this has anything at
all to do with Changes -> Accept/Reject. I've never used that feature.

I experienced some extremely slow response time this morning while
working on a document that had many recorded changes. I was
reviewing/revising a procedure at work. It is relatively short, around
4 pages, with no graphic elements. The file size is around 15K.
Nearing the end of the document, it very suddenly started taking
forever to respond. My definition of "forever" in this case: To insert
a line break by pressing Enter took around 3 minutes. To save the
document also took around 3 minutes. I opened up, modified, and saved
another document as a trial, and that was fine.
I closed out of OOo, shut down, and restarted, and the problem
persisted.
Finally, I tried saving the document as a different name (which again
took around 3 minutes), and in the new document, I went to
Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject, and Accepted All of the changes.
Now the document gave normal response time. So this was pretty
clearly a result of the recorded changes.
I estimate that I had approximately 80 recorded changes, which seems
like a lot I agree. (There were a number of places where someone had
put a list in a paragraph form (items separated by commas), and I
changed those places to bulletized lists, which caused a pretty large
number of separate changes to be recorded each time.)
My question is whether this is to be expected (like is there a
practical limit to the number of changes that can be recorded?).
I'm on OOo 2.0.2, Windows XP. It's a networked system rather than an
individual PC so unfortunately I'm not sure of the memory.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
