I can assure you that the problem that you have identified is not because the document is either large (I don't consider a document under about 150 pages to be large) nor complex. While I have some problems with documents containing MS Word outline format, I often deal with 100 plus page docs having outlining, tables, and track changes from as many are 5 editors and have never had Ooo freeze.
It probably would be great if you could send the troublesome file to the appropriate developer since it sounds as though you have found a bug that requires some specific combination of conditions for the trigger.

I haven't tried them yet, but what I have done is open the original unedited document and continue with my editing from the paragraphs in question. So far it's working fine. I also tried deleting most of the remainder of the document, and it didn't die as before. It also wasn't very productive :-) This suggested to me that the problem is with the accumulated size and/or complexity, rather than with something in those specific paragraphs. I just tried again making further changes to the problem document, and found that how long it stays alive does depend on exactly where I insert new text in that paragraph. It does seem to be reproducible. Whatever is causing it, presumably this is a bug and should be reported, unless someone tells me that it's a known bug.
