Hello, This is a question I asked in ask.libreoffice.org, but did not get a useful reply:
I've got the latest Impress running on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8. (but this problem existed in previous versions, too) For the past few months I tried really really hard to make all my presentations with Impress. The big problem is that it's performance is the exact opposite of snappy. (what is a good antonym for snappy?) After adding images (they are each just 500-800kb JPGs) to, say, 20 slides, Impress grinds almost to a halt. Things respond 1-2 seconds after the mouse click. This is especially frustrating when clicking, holding, the dragging, because there is always a 1-2 second lag between each step. For instance, if I click and drag the corner of an image to resize it, the motion is not smooth, but rather occurs in "jumps". Another instance would be when I click on a slide to select/show it in the main window. If I move the mouse cursor away after clicking on a slide, the lag makes Impress think I am dragging and re-ordering the slide! And of course there is a few seconds delay here as well. So my question is: What's wrong that's making Impress perform so poorly?? My Mac has a Intel Core i7 2.66 gHz CPU, advanced Nvidia GT 330M graphics, and 8.0 GB of memory, it should be overkill for something like this! I tried tweaking the number of objects kept in memory, size of objects, etc. to no avail. Is it just because Impress has poor performance? (in which case I think it really need to be improved) Or am I doing something wrong??? M$ PowerPoint and Apple Keynote works beautifully and snappily, but I wish I could use Impress!
