Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96093
Slow eps image rendering
Last modified: 2008-11-27 14:53:14 UTC
Hello, openoffice is very slow at rendering postscript images (".eps" files). Scrolling through a file containing postscript images is a pain : "read error" appears every time an image is encountered, and it takes about one second before the image is rendered and "read error" disappears. Note that those images are light weight and are instantaneously rendered by "gv". Also, the same file with the same images is rendered more quickly by Windows Word. I wish the rendering of postscript images in openoffice could be improved. Regards, -- owqcd on a Debian testing, i386
Please: - Test this in a current 3.0 version - Attach a sample document

Hello, after trying to answer your request, I will add a precision : - When eps images are included as links, OO takes too much time to render them. An error message "read error" appears while scrolling up or down and the whole application stalls for seconds. - When eps images are embeded, OO renders them quicker. The "read error" message does not appear. I still find it slow and it scrolling is not smooth. So, the main problem is when images are embeded. Since my hard disk is fast, the linux box not busy, and the images are directly rendered when I use gv, I consider that the slowliness comes from OO. Smoothness of the scrolling could also be improved (while scrolling, the image doesn't need to be rendered !). > Test this in a current 3.0 version I won't do that now (I'm afraid of breaking things which somehow work... I don't want to spend spend hours to set them back) Regards.
