Do not know if this will aid you in the testing, but here goes.

1. Open Calc or  Write,
2. Go To:  Tools --> Option,
3. Select (expand): LibreOffice,
4. Select: Memory,
5. Under:  Undo,
6. Set 'Number of steps', to zero '0',
7. Click on the 'Ok' button,
8. Close LibreOffice,
9. Reopen LibreOffice,
10. Conduct test.

Reset to 'Number of steps', to zero '100' when done.

Please let us all know if this works for you.

Hi Onyeibo,

Perhaps 'undo' is the reason, that delete is slower than insert. But I
don't know any way to disable 'undo' to test my guess.

Kind regards

Played around the code.  Seems COUNTIF's and COUNTBLANK's perform
expensive iterations so I replaced those. Now the deletion speed is
nearly same as the creation speed ... I wish I can get more speed though
:) I'd hate to run this in M$ Office and get a better performance with
VBA.  I hope that doesn't happen because I need to convince my employers
that Open-Source is the way forward.

Hmm, so LibreOffice stores strings in unicode. Interesting.  Why didn't
any of you guru-istic forerunners tell me I could use the terminal for
debugging?  This is so sweet. :)
