Still present in Version: 5.4.0.3
Build-ID: 7556cbc6811c9d992f4064ab9287069087d7f62c
CPU-Threads: 4; Betriebssystem:Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group

This is to the point where LO on Mac is basically not usable anymore. I would
set this report to critical and even consider (temporarily) stopping support
for Mac OS entirely if this can't be dealt with.

Extremely slow UI as described above: scrolling skips tons of frames, dialogues
take seconds to load [Bug 106154, Bug 106703, Bug 107113], completely
unresponsive UI for seconds [Bug 106958], sometimes the GUI doesn't respond to
system interactions anymore. Very frustrating and getting worse with complex
documents (see Bug 104716, not related to Mac OS).

I tried to record a screencast but its a huge file and doesn't add much value.
My experience is this: LO 5.3 and 5.4 have extremely slowly opening dialogues
(spinning wheel all the time) and horrible scrolling performance; LO 5.2
("Vanilla" App Store Version in my case) feels more fluid but has unpredictable
UI freezes up to several minutes (!!) (mostly on opening list boxes like font
size). (OOo 4.1.3 for reference feels fast in comparison but crashes randomly
for me.)

I can confirm this on a 2015 MacBook, a 2009 and 2011 MacBook Pro running
Sierra or El Capitan. I rely on LO for work and this is getting worse with each
release instead of better. Actually its not sustainable anymore but there is no
clear alternative. Sorry for getting personal but I'm certainly not alone with
this, see (other than bug reports)
