Note that the bug Caolán's message is about was reported on 2012-03-21
and fixed on 2012-05-03 in the development branch ("master"). I.e.
long before your 3.4 release. Caolán's message is about cherry-picking
that fix also to our stable 3.5 branch.
Also note that the change that caused the slowdown was a sanity check
against malformed document files, so it is a *good* thing that LO has
that change.
(Without the actual sample doc used by the blogger who caused this
thread, we don't know if that is the same performance problem.)
