Laggy Calc in Win 7

users
#1

Hi,

I'm trying out LibreOffice Calc in Win 7 32bit. I'd tried Open Office 3.3
and it worked flawlessly but made the switch to LO when my intuition says
that Open Office might be quite "dead".

However, the weird thing is the Calc program seems be very laggy. After
typing few letters, it will take at least 30 seconds before any of them
appear and respond to any further keystrokes. I have Office 2007 open
simultaneously and it doesn't suffer the same problem.

LO Writer is fine, though from time to time it shows intermittent lag.

How do I solve this problem?

Thank you
Henry

BTW, I'm using LO 3.4.3

Close the office and rename both of your user profiles for LibreOffice and OOo.

Hi :slight_smile:
If you don't use base or wizards or forms then switching off java speeds a few things up quite a lot. 
Tools - Options - General/LibreOffice - Java
The tick box at the top can be unticked to stop java from being used.  You can always re-tick it later if you find you do need it after all.
Good luck and regards from

Before installing LibreOffice, I had uninstalled OpenOffice 3.3

If you did not remove the user profile explicitly, it will have stayed and partly imported in LibreOffice automatically on the first start.

I have deleted the Openoffice user profile and still LibreOffice is showing
the same lagginess.

I use LibO 3.3.4 on Windows 7 32 bit without any problems.
Java makes a tiny difference when the application is loading. It does not slow down the whole application.

Some tests:
Play with Tools>Options>Memory settings.
Go offline and turn off your virus scanner.
Reset any user defined default template if any.

[Command]>Reset Default Template>Spreadsheet (if

any)

Hi :slight_smile:
Can you try creating a fresh new spreadsheet?
File - New - Spreadsheet
to see if that has the same lagginess.

Do the spreadsheets that are suffering have a lot of embedded objects or
images? Could it be something to do with caches?
Tools - Options - General/LibreOffice - Memory
might let you improve the amount of cache available.
