Description Michael Meeks 2014-04-29 08:45:07 UTC
It takes me a very long time to save my 88 slide deck (much longer than to load it) - you can load it as hybrid PDF here:

http://people.gnome.org/~michael/data/2014-04-26-story-of-libreoffice.pdf

Profiling it in callgrind overnight (yes it takes that long ;-) it turns out that ~all of that time is consumed -loading- and de-compressing the images - there is ~zero cost for exporting them (so I can only think that the binary data is copied directly across to the new container - which is good).

That is really silly =) and (perhaps) another example of the really unfortunate image handling design we have [ though it could just be a silly bug I guess ].

Interestingly the slowest conversion in our callgrind tests at:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/callgrind_report/

is 051_fdo#73300.odt-convert - whose profile shows a huge amount of time spend loading, un-compressing and checksumming images - but virtually no time converting/exporting them. Which is perhaps another interesting data point.

this should be substantially improved with:

    sw: make SwGrfNode::mpReplacementGraphic swappable
    
    Same as previous commit, but for sw.

    svx: make SdrGrafObj::mpReplacementGraphic swappable
    
    These GraphicObjects clog up the GraphicManager cache so it's
    effectively useless.
    
    Round-tripping the ML bugdoc, this doesn't provide much of a
    speed-up by itself, but together with the previous fix it goes from
    3:00 to 1:30 (in an optimized build).

    xmloff: ODF export: fix redundant setting of GraphicStreamURL swapping
    
    XMLShapeExport::ImpExportGraphicObjectShape() unnecessarily swaps out
    the GraphicObject by calling setPropertyValue("GraphicStreamURL")
    even if the URL didn't actually change from what was retrieved
    just a couple lines earlier, incidentally swapping it in too.
    
    Well actually it isn't really swapped out, it's marked as auto-swapped,
    but nevertheless on getting the "ReplacementGraphicURL" property
    its Graphic will be replaced by swapping it in again.
    
    So don't do that, then it's only swapped in once.
    
    This speeds up round-tripping the ML bugdoc from 3:20 to 3:00.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, it takes less time to save the pdf file in another file than loading it.
(perhaps 1/2 min to load, 30 secs to save with Ryzen 2600 + 32GB)

Michael Meeks: any update with a recent LO version and following Michael Stahl's comment?
Comment 8 Michael Meeks 2019-10-28 10:43:22 UTC
Oh - lets close it if the work has been done =) nice work Michael.
