DOCX

This is followup on bug 53816 which was eventually fixed by another bug.
Same files attached to that bug span over 115 pages, exactly same file saved in both formats by MS 2010. In MSO it opens quite fast, while in LO it takes ages.

Test system:
Win 8.1, 64bit, latest patches, i5-4210U, 8GB RAM

Perfomance in LO, not cold start (alread opened some files after reboot):
DOCX - 52 seconds
DOC - 1 min 6 seconds

Just to get everything in one place, I'm linking my comment about performance from bug 53816#c7

(Quote Mikeyy - L10n HR from comment #7)
> Still valid bug.
> LO 4.4.2.2 on Windows 7, 64 bit, Intel i3 3240, 8 GB of ram, SSD disk
> 
> DOCX - takes 19 sec to open, opens only 3 pages (first empty)
> DOC - takes 35 sec to open, opens only 3 pages (first empty)
> 
> Windows WordPad opens DOCX file in 9 seconds, all 100+ pages.
> 
> LO 3.3.0.4, portable version, needs 76 seconds to open DOC document, it
> opens 3 pages (first empty).

So it's degradation of perfomance from LO 4.4.2.2, but that LO version wasn't able to open all pages.
Comment 3 Aron Budea 2016-07-28 05:16:43 UTC
Reproduced, documents open slowly for me as well in master (non-debug) build in Windows 7.
Comment 4 family-guy 2017-06-01 11:33:19 UTC
Reproduced in LO 5.3.3.2 (x64)

I can see that the problem is when LibreOffice "span" the table in multiple pages.
It's hanging even if I save the file in .odt and reopen it, you can see the page count painfully slow going from 3 to 115 (in my case).

Comment 6 Timur 2018-10-03 08:53:47 UTC
I didn't measure, but I see dump on fileopen in 6.2+.
Comment 7 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2018-10-03 09:04:12 UTC
This has actually gotten worse over time. On latest LO 6.1.2.1 now it takes few minutes to open docx.
Comment 8 Buovjaga 2019-03-28 08:07:29 UTC
Latest master, using OOO_EXIT_POST_STARTUP=1, DOCX opens in
real    0m23,830s
user    0m23,511s
sys     0m0,249s

6.2.2
real    0m25,649s
user    0m25,332s
sys     0m0,259s

I guess it could still be faster. I should do a callgrind trace.

Comment 10 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2019-03-28 09:14:59 UTC
I'm not using new LO 6.2, at least not until get next .3 release so right now I can just compare 6.1.5.2.

It took 92 seconds to open docx file.

.docx is 2007 version, similar if resaved in MSO, somewhat slow to open in LO 7.1+ but fast after that.
MSO is also slow to count 114 pages.
Comment 13 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2021-02-16 09:36:17 UTC
bug #100139 also contains 100+ page long tables in docx.

LO 7.0.4 and LO 7.1.0 release versions.
DOC 28s
DOCX 28s - this one shows first page early, maybe 10-12s, but it doesn't load whole document, and LO in unresponsive. After it loads all 115 pages it becomes responsive again.

Docx import started to be fast (around 20 seconds instead of 50) on my old-ish machine in 6.3 after:
