Confirm with
Version: 7.0.0.2
Build ID: c01aa64b6c3d89ebe5fe69c28c7adb24eb85249c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx

Calc: threaded
Comment 3 Telesto 2020-09-30 20:49:54 UTC 
Not fast with 
4.4.7.2

It's faster with
Versie 4.0.0.3 (Bouw-id: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89)

even Word needs some time.. so 4.0 speed should be seen as normal
Comment 4 Roman Kuznetsov 2021-02-25 19:56:40 UTC 
It took about 15 sec in

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d8ed3bda462b351d2b98ec57cfdb879e0eec0010
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

But MS Word 2007 opens it momentally
Comment 5 Timur 2021-05-06 10:38:00 UTC 
Test Linux with GEN. I didn't test 4.0 because no 4.0max, but looks like double slow down in 4.1 and 4.2. 

4.1 oldest:
real	0m15,850s
user	0m13,879s
sys	0m0,869s

4.1 master:
real	0m25,672s
user	0m19,025s
sys	0m1,161s

4.2 master:
real	0m50,422s
user	0m45,278s
sys	0m0,365s

7.2+:
real	0m48,525s
user	0m44,618s
sys	0m0,727s


Bibisect in 4.1 had many skipped commits. I'll write in the next post and hide.
Here is a range, multiple devs.

I you mean that 42max had more sources per binary commit, I used ^1 to get previous commit and wrote previous source, so here it's a single source, as written. 
I used "time" to find and verify seconds.

Comment 12 Buovjaga 2021-09-02 09:26:37 UTC 
The previous commit takes it from 11 secs to 8 secs for me (Linux).
Comment 13 Timur 2021-09-02 15:08:25 UTC 
Retest od 2nd load in addition to comment 5:

4.1. oldest
real	0m13,994s
user	0m12,867s
sys	0m0,452s

4.1. master:
real	0m19,498s
user	0m18,608s
sys	0m0,405s

7.3+:
real	0m22,562s
user	0m21,494s
sys	0m0,512s

Improved comparing to 4.2 and 7.2 but still worse comparing to 4.1 oldest.
Comment 14 Pit Hauge 2021-12-16 12:05:54 UTC 
It still takes an incredibly long time to load this 45 KB file. I just tried to open it by version 7.1.7: 41.0 seconds. To compare with a really large file with text and pictures, 9086 KB: 5.0 seconds.

Then I downloaded and installed the just released version 7.1.8. New result:
45 KB in 31.6 seconds
9086 KB in 7.0 seconds

A file 200 times larger takes less than a quarter of the time to be loaded! So really size doesn't matter :-)

In 7.2 (Linux) I get 14 secs, but with 7.4 I get only 4 secs, so please test with a fresh master build. If you're on Windows, you want Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Comment 16 Timur 2022-01-07 14:30:24 UTC 
Retest of 2nd load:
4.1 oldest:   5,96s user 0,25s system 91% cpu 6,762 total
4.1 master:   8,84s user 0,35s system 94% cpu 9,709 total
7.3 oldest:  22,10s user 0,26s system 98% cpu 22,631 total
7.3 master:   8,71s user 0,36s system 97% cpu 9,318 total
7.4 master:   8,44s user 0,29s system 94% cpu 9,190 total

As noted before, there was improvement in 7.3 but not some other in 7.4.

Comment 21 Buovjaga 2023-06-07 16:43:32 UTC 
Based on the previous comment, this could be closed as fixed, right?
Comment 22 BogdanB 2023-06-08 04:34:00 UTC 
Telesto, Pit Hauge, can you test again this bug using 7.6? Maybe even using Mac?
Comment 23 Pit Hauge 2025-04-03 07:24:11 UTC 
I no longer have version 7; I'm using version 24. With 24.8.6, the file opens quickly enough.
I don't own a Mac.
