First thing to do is - file a bug :-) secondly - it would be great to
know if this is a regression from OO.o :-) thirdly - it would  be
wonderful to know what kind of use pattern you're using - if it is
load/edit/save/close in a loop - then - there are some known memory
leaks that cause serious grief (sadly) and chasing these is a matter of
time and effort and extreme slowness using:

valgrind --leak-check=full ./soffice.bin  /tmp/val-log

and filing the log after a set of user interactions.

An easier way to prod this is to use:

pmap `pidof soffice.bin` | grep writable

and watch that as you do various operations; particularly looking for
jumps, or any slow increment while you're doing things.

Anyhow - would be great to have help with this ! :-)

All the best,

Michael.

 Heh, this has been my experience with Calc for awhile.  I, too, would 
 like to see it fixed.  However (and here's the annoying part) it's 
 rather difficult to track these sorts of vague issues down.  If you can 
 find a directly repeatable use case, like save 5 files over 100KiB in 
 size, reload twice, and you can *really* notice the slow down you would 
 be doing the devs (and yourself!) wonders.
 
 Unfortunately, because these gradual slow downs are caused by a number 
 of different pieces of the code and in small increments, there's likely 
 not a single action to say Aha! There's the bugger.
 
 One slow down of which I've become aware is in charting with Calc. 
 Clicking in and out of a chart is a nightmare after 5 minutes of heavy 
 use.  With luck, now that there's an articulated example, someone may 
 have more luck tracking down that particular issue.

Is there something like this available for LO?

I'm a standard 'user' (linux, but I also test on WinXP  Win7 (if
forced:-)), so if someone can point to debugging tools/procedures I'll
be happy to test.
