           Version: LibO 3.4.5 release

Here's a spreadsheet with 1000 row example

Problem description: Large array formula calculations ( 1000 rows ) use a huge
amount of memory and cause a crash. So spreadsheets which only take less than a
second in version 3.3 take 10mins or crash in version 3.4. I have a few
spreadsheets I just can't open in 3.4.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter Formula into say F2 ( Hitting CTRL+SHIFT+Return to enter array formula
) =SUM(IF(A1:A400="A",IF(B1:B400="A",IF(C1:C400="A",D1:D400,0),0),0))
2. Add some rows of data to columns A to D e.g. A A A 4
3. The recalc will be very slow compared to version 3.3. If the range is
extended e.g A1:A1000, B1:B1000 then crashes.

- My guess is that the order of looping around the array formula has been
changed between versions, requiring inefficient use of memory. I had a similar
problem in my code once, and just changing the order of the for loops produced
identical results.

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

Platform (if different from the browser): 

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/17.0.963.46 Safari/535.11#

- Same behaviour in Ubuntu Linux & Windows XP
