Comment 1 James 2013-07-03 10:57:51 UTC
WORKSFORME on OS X 10.8.4 LO 4.1.0.1.

WIN only as it seems.
Comment 2 Pedro 2013-07-04 00:00:27 UTC
Bug confirmed under Windows XP SP3 x86 en_US

I didn't try the PDF part on all the versions but simply loading the file is absurdly slow (it's a 2 page document with a table...)

It is indeed a regression. It loads at a normal speed using LO 3.5.7.2 but not when using 3.6.6.2, 4.0.4.2 or 4.1.0.1

However PDF creation was also slow in 3.5.7.2

Over a year later: XP is endoflife. everybody still using it should update to a newer OS.

NEEDINFO: does this problem still persist with 4.4beta builds?
