I can reproduce this behaviour with the OP's test document.

It is worth noting that the plot is *very* large, consisting of 10000
data rows as a line plot.

When loading the spreadsheet document in LibreOffice Calc, resident
memory increases by over 1.5 GiB just navigating the document.

Pasting the graph into an empty Writer document (and then closing the
Calc document) results in a resident memory size about the same, over
1.6 GiB.

Writer, unlike Calc, becomes quite unresponsive, taking tens of
seconds to respond to any event while the graph is in view. After
moving to a new page in the same document, with the graph not visible,
Writer again becomes quite normally responsive.

Other plots of far fewer data points behave normally in both
applications. A work-around is to reduce the granularity of the data
set, and plot sampled or averaged points that will at least be
individually visible on the page.

This bug does not meet the definition of the “important” severity, so
I'm downgrading this to “normal” severity.
