Reproducible. Reassigned.
Comment 2 clippka 2009-10-12 17:33:36 UTC 
adapting priority as this is a artificial use case for impress/draw tables

I note this got a lower priority based on the artificial scenario. However, it
is clearly visible for any moderate table. I have one which is 11 columns and 18
rows (about as large as any presentation should ever have). While it does not
hang, this table is almost unusable on OOo 3.1.1-19.2fc11 (OOO310m19, Build
9420). It takes 8 seconds to resize one column (T60p laptop, Fedora 11 32bit,
Intel T2600 cpu @ 2.16GHz). I suspect an O(rows*columns)^N algorithm at play here. 

I would recommend raising the priority to P3. This is a significant usability
issue for larger tables.

I reproduce slow down for moderate tables. I have an old PC (512 MHz Celeron), 
but creating and resizing of moderate tables (like 10x10) in Writer works fast. 
But after moving table from Writer to Impress, it takes about 30 seconds to 
resize one column or row! 

During resize process, I see some stages with "blurring" text - maybe some sort 
of resize "animation" causes speed problem?
Comment 7 annulen 2010-06-02 15:20:37 UTC 
"animation" was wrong word - better say "gradual movement of text instead of one-
step"
Comment 8 brunoharbulot 2010-06-02 19:13:31 UTC 
I too experienced the same problem. On a 10x10 table, even selecting a few cells
is slow, any sort of edition/resizing is barely usable.
This was reproducible on two different machines (OSX and Linux), even on a
fairly recent machine with 4GB of RAM.
Comment 9 oooforum (fr) 2013-09-05 13:01:23 UTC 
If you want to manage large and complexe table, it better to use OLE function.
Make your table in Writer or Calc and include it through Insert > Object OLE.
