Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 74109
Opening an Excel document takes a huge amount of time
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:11:41 UTC
Opening the attached document (see http-link) takes an enormous amount of time on a dual-core 2GHz Athlon CPU. The soffice.bin process just sits there doing nothing (task manager shows that it utilizes 0 percent of CPU time and 30 megabytes of memory) for three minutes or so. Then the document finally opens properly (note that it's not that huge at all). Also note that this document is protected and contains a hyperlink to an image with an address starting with 'http://192.168.0.4/', which is most likely non-existent (but I'm not really sure that's the case of the major slowdown).

Hi Mathias, the problem is that the file contains six Pictures located on a server which could not be reached. Daniel told me that something like this is on your construction site. Please have a look at this one. Frank
Yes, we are working on an improved handling of linked graphics in Writer that doesn't block while the graphics are loaded. Once this implementation is done they could be applied to that drawing layer code also. It is not decided yet who will do this so for the time being I will keep this issue in my intray. First me must check if the hyperlinks are the only problem here. Frank, can you confirm that removing the hyperlinks allows to load the file as fast as usual?
Yes, removing the six pictures results in a fast opnening document. Frank
OK, so we will wait until Oliver has done his work for Writer and then decide how to proceed. For the time being I will keep this issue in my intray.
