If you create a writer document and put an EPS as background image, then Writer is nearly unusable. It only accepts user inputs every 5 or 10 seconds and CPU usage is 100 % on one core.

Seems like it always tries to render the EPS new with every character you type. Mine is a pretty large EPS but the same EPS worked seamless in previous versions of Libre Office. Something must have changed...

Thanks for fixing!

The EPS image does not have to be in the background, it just has to be on the same page as the cursor when typing. Marked as duplicate of bug #37837 as it's likely to have the same root cause.
