File with tables pasted from remote site, exhibits meltdown when print settings changed on print.

When pasting a table from a website, OO writer slows to a crawl. Even after letting all links update, if you choose 'print' it will take 2 minutes for changes in the print dialog to process.

Hardware: Toshiba P205d (Athlon TL-58 [Opteron x86_64]), 4 GB Ram
Software: openSuSE 11.4

To reproduce, open the attached file. Choose print and try and select to print only page 2. It takes minutes for the Pages input to become responsive, even after the document is fully loaded and all content updated.

It seems like some OLE call is being made to update the entire document from the remote site with every single change to the print (or other) dialogs.

This makes OO 3.3 completely unusable.

I can see the slowdown.

The problem is the number of picture are too high. It's preventing to work comfortable with the document. When deleting all the litte graphics, then it's working fine.

I don't say that this is the solution but could be a workaround as I don't see a need to have especially all these little graphics from the Internet. A hook or colored table cell should do the trick, too.
