An interim reply - I'm tied up today (and all days to minor extent) with medical treatment - today I have morning and afternoon sessions.
It seems to be the case that the problem is caused by some peculiarity of the operating system. I have checked on clean Xubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04 (64 bit) installations, with OpenOffice 4.1.0 and 4.1.5 on each; no problem with rebuilding the Table of Contents on the test file. However, when I revert the test file to my normal computer (Xubuntu 16.04.03) the ToC takes hours to rebuild. I tried the old trick of a fresh OO User Profile - no improvement. This effectively rules out any side effects from all OO extensions installed on my normal computer, reducing the problem probably to some O.S. utilities on the affected computer. I'll continue to investigate when I have time.
