Public bug reported: Follow these steps to bring LibreOffice writer to a crawl:
1) Allow this page to fully load in firefox (in a new tab): http://www.amorosity.com/SlingBlade/ 2) Click on the page and hit ctrl-a, then ctrl-c (coping the entire page's contents into memory). 3) Open LibreOffice writer, and paste your clipboard into it. I don't mind waiting for all the images to get loaded. The main point here, is that performance is not only slow during the initial paste. After the images get fully loaded into the word processing document, interacting with the document becomes impractical. Everything you try to do makes the application hang for several seconds. I have 4 gigabytes of RAM available for LibreOffice writer to use as it wishes, but it must be using some type of swap file (instead) while I'm modifying this large document. However, I have a really fast solid-state hard drive, so you'd think even that it would be fast on my machine. My machine should have the specs to enable me the ability to handle converting this large web page into word processing document. Yes there are other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do, but this bug is about how LibreOffice can't handle the job. If it was programmed just right, it would make use of the resources my computer would gladly provide it, and scale up to this rather intensive job.
