I can observe the same symptoms on my system:

System: Ubuntu 14.04.1, x64, up-to-date
Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1275 v3
RAM: 32GB

LibreOffice version: 4.2.7.2

Most of the recent documents were located on a Samba server (mounted with
mount.cifs, not using GVFS).  In my case the file server is accessed directly
over local gigabit ethernet, not using VPN.

I had a small, simple document open in Writer (5-6 pages, almost only regular
text), and when jumping around the document there was very noticeable
stuttering.  Each pause was well under a second long, but it happened regularly
enough (roughly every 5-10 seconds) that it was quite unpleasant to try
working.

When i fired up Wireshark, I observed SMB traffic corresponding to the
stuttering/pauses.  The packet capture showed that all the documents in the
Recent Documents list were accessed when I jumped around in the open document
(page up / page down; no editing or saving/loading).  With 25 recent documents
and each document being 5-10 levels deep into a directory structure, that's a
lot of networked stat calls.

If I let Writer sit still with no activity, there was no SMB traffic.

Setting the Recent Documents list size to 0 removed the stuttering and the SMB
traffic.

Is it necessary for LibreOffice to access all the Recent Documents files during
regular document editing?  If there is a good reason, can it be made properly
asynchronous?

Marking this NEW again.  Thanks for looking into this; I would like to be able
to enable recent documents again.
