Indeed that has been noticed. As from LibreOffice 4.2.0 in the experimental features there is the option to use Firebird, that will bring improvements as you describe.

No problem at all! Thanks for your supportive words and the time you you took to explain your ideas. Maybe a pity that you just missed this Firebird feature. On the other hand: it's not yet from Experimental to 'regular', so that might have contributed to that.
