Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34401
Poor performance when typing in writer
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
When editing a long(ish) document, e.g. ~25 pages, the performance in writer degrades quite quickly. It eventually takes over a second to make a key press before being able to make another. This problem seems to go away temporarily when writer is shut down and then restarted, this problem doesn't seem to occur in OOo 1.1.2.
MRU->SBA: please care about further process of this. Thanks!
Can you upload the file this happened with so I can try to duplicate it?
yeah, happens a lot in m54...the lag...windows and linux versions...not just with long documents...
Windows 2k, Openoffice m54 Happens here too (i just made an account in order to report it. I cannot work without exiting and reopening the document every half hour). Not just with big documents but with small documents too. *** Issues 34879, 34969, 34910 are duplicates of this issue*** Somebody at issue 34969 said it happens with build m55 too. If somebody wants the document i'm working with i can send it to him.
Correction for links about issues *** issue 34879,issue 34969,issue 34910 are duplicates of this issue***
*** Issue 34969 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
*** Issue 34879 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
probably issue 34893 is duplicate too

I have experienced the same load on the cpu as at issue 34910. When i have just opened a document (3 pages long) the load as i type is neglible. As time goes on the load while i type becomes bigger, ending (after half an hour) at 60%-70% of total load (OS: Windows 2000 pro). This is with autocorrection and autocomplete off using the english Openoffice 680 m54 install. The document is in the greek language with the styles from writer2latex: http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/
Can someone confirm this issue? This issue happens to me on XP with smallish documents (4-5 pages) after a few minutes. There's also a lot of other reports of this issue as the fair number of duplicates show.
you may have a look at issue 34644 for a possibly functioning workaround
This issue seems resolved for me in 680m56. I didn't see it at all the last 2 days working on Writer docs as compared to how often I saw it in 680m54.
I have found it in M56, just as in M54.
I raised bug 34893 for very slow updating while touchtyping, and have just downloaded 1.9.56 and tried it. Whilst it still takes an age to load the applications, in use the sluggish response has vanished.

SBA: Target se to OOo 2.0. My problem is that we already have different opinions about "THE" problem being still there or having vanished. So it is obvious that some people have been into different problems that have "poor performance" in common. One (known) example: Having a truckload of tracked changes that are NOT shown in the document is an "efficient prerformance killer" but strongly documnet-dependant and vanishes if "Edit-Changes-show" is checked. Of course we'd like to "fix 'em all", but this can be only done one-by one, each tracked-down problem having a separate issue. So let's track down the problem of the reporter in this issue. Once tracked down, people may tell about OTHER performance-related problems and file issues they can be sure of NOT being a duplicate. Please note that Office undergoes many changes and fixes at times. In my words:"a lot of water ran down the river Elbe since 680m54" :-), thus I'd apreciate 6890m58 (or younger) statements. What to do: The submitter (NEPHILA) should give me a reproducible scenario in the latest available developer snapshot (680m58) and a reference (i.e. "0.1 sec in 1.1.3, 1046 sec in 680m58). Certainly an attached bugdoc would help. If you can't attach it for privaccy reasons, you may send it to me directly and tell so in the description. This is NOT an invitation to spam me with documents :-) Thank you!
I saw this with m54 with various documents on various WinXP machines. But this works for me in m58, editing the same documents as well as new documents of comparable lenght.

Hi, the problem is solved in m58! To me it is very evident, that the problem somehow solved, as the effect is very clear. You hopefully know what fixed it, don't you? ;-)
SBA: The last two comments tell me that I can set this one to Worksforme.
SBA: Closed. Please don't reopen this one (see my comments avbove). But new issues with reproducible scenarios and based on 680m62 or younger are always welcome :-)
