Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 58612
MS Word document with Hebrew very slow to reformat
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I have a MS Word 9.0 document (616 pages) which runs over 15 minutes and still not opened (it takes less than a minute to open with MS Word).
Created attachment 31891 [details] A hebrew book to issue 58612
Confirm that OpenOffice.org 2.0.0 (on Windows 2000 Pro) does take much, much longer to open attachment 31891 [details] than Microsoft Word 2000. For easier searching: Summary: "Cant wait for importing MS Word document" --> "MS Word document with Hebrew very slow to import"
Created attachment 31947 [details] Extract circa pages 550-575 (25 pages). Takes 40 seconds to load on OOo 2.0.0 Linux Opteron 252.
Summary of testing that lead to attachment 31947 [details]: Using Word 2000, I extracted sequences of pages to isolate the slowness. Then I tried to open on OpenOffice.org 2.0.0 Linux with fast CPU. Page numbers may be approximate. - pages 450 to 616: very slow, gave up - pages 500 to 550: 7 seconds - pages 500 to 575: very slow, gave up - pages 500 to 613: very slow, gave up - pages 525 to 615: 30 seconds - pages 550 to 560: 3 seconds* - pages 560 to 575: 7 seconds* - pages 550 to 575: 40 seconds* - pages 575 to 616: 10 seconds * Notice that breaking up 550-575 in two pieces takes total 10 seconds to load, but whole piece 550-575 takes 40 seconds (4x more than parts).
MRU->FME: it needs extremely long to reformat this CTL document. Partly it is written in multi-column layout. Maybe this makes the performance problem.
