clean up calc'c choosing between threading and OpenCL
Now there's just one place to decide what is used first,
in InterpretFormulaGroup(). Place in other places now checks both threading
and OpenCL, which should be cheap, but it also allows e.g. falling
back from OpenCL to threading if it doesn't work out for a specific
formula group.

Comment 0 about 6.1 being wrong.. started with 6.2
Comment 4 Telesto 2021-09-02 20:04:44 UTC
@David,
FYI: I recycled a part of you're spreadsheet at bug 144205. The file opening here is slowish because of bug 124098. And recalculating after deleting cell content is slow because of the commit at comment 2. It's possible that both are entangled (so slow recalculation & row height madness. At least that's how I read: bug 124098 comment 39. And there is also bug 144250 (which also appears to be connected to the row height recalculation; it's likely a twist in the expression of the same flaw)
Comment 5 Timur 2021-09-03 12:36:51 UTC
Test Linux bibisect repos. I confirm the bug but not the bibisect result. 
Bug should be in 6.1. Before and after commit of Comment 2 is similar, slow. 
Maybe repos are not OK.

Re-enable threading for formula groups for now.
As agreed at the ESC - lets see how this goes for 6.1
This reverts commit 4696d3728f0aba1087001bc543fc0867dd0ebdda.

Disable threading for formula groups for now.
Comment 7 Timur 2021-09-03 13:09:56 UTC
So multi-threaded calculation is a culprit, adding meta.
Comment 8 Telesto 2021-09-03 13:53:54 UTC
Would someone mind to verify my Windows bibisect result, please. There might well be a difference between Windows & Linux...

I find it pretty particular that both bibisects point (Linux/Win) both point to "FormulaGroups" code, only different code..  

Also the 'bug' at bug 144250 points to yet again the FormulaGroups code, but again different commit. 


It's my impression that for somehow a recalculation is trigger followed (or together with) a by row height recalculation. But well I could be totally wrong...

Comment 10 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-01-23 12:38:35 UTC
Just tested on Ubuntu 18.04.6 with LO 7.3.0.2 and it took 2.5 seconds.
Wondering if the fix for Bug 144249 helped here too.

Marking as WFM but please do double-check.
Comment 11 Timur 2022-01-23 14:16:14 UTC
stragu, thanks for checking, but please test always with trouble version and fresh or beter master to compare on the same system.

Comment 13 Telesto 2022-01-23 20:47:13 UTC
Well for me is selected cell A8 & pressing delete still slow (selecting row a8 & delete being fast)

ugh, sorry about the previous comment, I was confusing this report with the scrolling one: Bug 144250

Here it is again, focusing on the issue reported here:

What do you mean by "trouble version"? The earliest version affected according to this bug report is 6.2, which is an unmaintained branch, and the most recent version tested by Telesto in Comment 0 was 7.3, which is the one I picked to test (a currently maintained branch). I think my WFM was a justified call, but I said I'd like someone else to check and I'm happy to do more testing.

I tested a number of times to have a better idea of how much time it takes before the values are updated:

In 7.2.5: about 3 seconds
in 7.3.0.2: about 3 seconds
In 7.4 alpha0+: about 3 seconds

Undoing the operation seems to take a similar time.

Sorry, I was deleting row, not cell.

7.4+                   

We have different systems, but versions with change were identified. 
So now are relevant for test: 6.0 master/latest to see how fast it was, 7.3 oldest to see how it was when reported, master which is 7.4+ to see it now.

7.4+ seem unchanged from 7.3-, faster than 6.2 but slower than without multi-threaded calc, which is almost instant. 
So key question remains: why is multi-threaded calc slower?

Comment 19 Timur 2022-05-12 10:33:24 UTC
It's 4 secs for me now in 7.4+ with multi-threaded calc. 
Not as good as without it (why?) but better than before.
