Slow new paragraph

Hi,

When I press <enter> it takes five seconds before the cursor becomes visible
at the beginning of the next line. The processor seems to work heavily during
those five seconds.

Starting the libreoffice writer with the command "lowriter Kirja.odt" takes
less than fifteen seconds and also everything else works fast.

Kirja.odt is a document in finnish of about 150 pages. Only text, now figures.
There is table of contents.
I use voikko for finnish spell checking and hyphenation.

I have tried the advice I have found in the web but with no avail. I guess I
have missed *the* advice.

Libreoffice:
Version: 4.1.4.2
Build ID: 410m0(Build:2)

Operating system:
Opensuse; Linux 3.12.6-5.g080d0df-default x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you Tom for hints.

The file Kirja.odt is 273 KiB.

Graphics cache: Use for libreoffice: 40 MB
Memory per object: 20 MB
( There is no graphics in the document )

Turned off java and restarted. Said twice, that needs java for some operations
and offered to turn it on. I said no. Worked ok, but not any faster. Still
five seconds dead after <enter>

Hi :slight_smile:
Do you know how large the file-size is in Mb, kB or something like that?

Have you tried increasing the memory settings in LibreOffice?
Tools - Options - Memory
and make sure settings are over around 20Mb.

Also try switching off java usage in LibreOffice by using the same
dialogue box but a bit lower down
Tools - Options - Advanced
and untick the option above the big white space. If it turns out that
you do need java (highly unlikely) then simply re-tick that box and
re-try whatever it was that grumbled at you.

Hi :slight_smile:
Weird.

Hmm, so "no change after all that" probably means you can turn java
back on. If it asked for it twice then maybe it is needed. On a
Gnu&Linux such as openSuSE it's likely to be a safer version of java
anyway. It was still worth a shot though! :slight_smile:

273KiB is quite a lot lower than i was expecting. Up to around 10
times heavier doesn't normally have troubles but much above that might
have slowed things down a bit on a low spec machine.

This one isn't something ridiculous like 256Mb Ram and 100Hz Cpu is
it? If so then a lighter-weight distro might be a better choice.
openSuSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, Redhat, Mageia are all "gateway" distros
that aim to be fairly bloated and have everything all ready running so
that Windows users feel at home

Ahhh, has this problem always been there or did it suddenly start
happening? Perhaps after installing an Extension or something? It
might be worth renaming your "User Profile"
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
just in case there is some clash between Extensions or some weird
setting has suddenly scuppered things.

Renaming it means you can rename back if it has no effect.
