Test xlsx file

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the attached xlsx document.

2. Try to click to second sheet tab (to switch to that tab).
--> Very slow switching to the 2nd tab. After successful switch, the soffice.bin process eats 3.6 GB of my RAM, while my system RAM is 8 GB.

3. After successfully switched to the second tab, try to click some cells.
--> Very slow navigating between between cells.

Reproduced in
Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: f6f37e3341f2a3ad292af1a923dbc33d81e439c9
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: zh-CN (zh_CN.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

And in 6.3.5.2
Fedora 31 64.

Step 2 and 3 is fast in MSO running in my VirtalBox WinXP guest machine with only 1 GB total RAM.

Opening the file there is a message that it exceeds the columns number limits.

And file crash LibreOffice when I try to go to the second sheet.

Trying loading the document is already quite slow, more than (for a 480KB file on pc with Ryzen 2600 + 32GB)
real	0m16,036s
user	0m15,769s
sys	0m1,313s

+ I got this warning:
Warning loading document ...:
The data could not be loaded completely because the maximum number of columns per sheet was exceeded.

perf flamegraph (when loading the file)

Here's a Flamegraph retrieved on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today.
It corresponds to loading only.

I'll attach another Flamegraph about the switching part.

Flamegraph (when switching sheet)

I must say that I use gtk3 so with all accessibility mechanism which seems to slow down things.

Tab switching is not very slow for me and memory use does not explode.

Kevin: please re-test
