@Jesse McNichol - removing libreoffice-gtk* as you suggested initially seems to have improved things for me; remains to be proven with more use, but my system (Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Precision M2800 with SDD, 8GB RAM) was running soffice.bin at 100% CPU utilization for varying durations, ranging from ~1 minute to ~45 minutes; the more brief durations were connected with simple LOImpress slide copy operations (this is NOT a complex deck, only a few MB, a handful of static images and bulleted text lists over 16 slides), and the longer were caused consistently by attempts to save changes. I did manage to verify that while in this state, the deadlock (or whatever it is) occurs BEFORE the actual save to disk operation, so you're hosed into waiting for it to clear itself if you don't want to lose your changes. Having just waited out my last important save operation (which did successfully complete finally), I tried your `apt-get remove libreoffice-gtk*`, restarted Impress with the same deck and made several small changes with no sign of the issue so far. I have copied slides, made several quick edits and save operations without any delay. Thanks for the tip!
