--- Comment #6 from Christian Lehmann <christianw_lehmann at arcor.de> ---
LO developers should know that they are free to forward the file to other LO
developers. What is not possible is to make it available to everybody on the
website, as this would seriously jeopardize the authors' chance of getting it
printed in the future.

I trust that it may be helpful for developers to have a big file available for
testing that is a real working document making full use of LO features instead
of a repetition of Lorem ipsum.

Some observations on the problem that I reported:
1) You need to check loading behavior for different positions of the cursor in
the (saved) document. It seems that sometimes it does leap to different
locations during the loading process and other times it remains on the same
spot, but only the display shifts up and down.

2) Part of the problem is apparently in the pagination: While LO Writer
analyzes the document it is loading, it apparently repaginates it repeatedly.
This should be streamlined.

3) Another aspect of the problem is that the successive phases of the process
of loading and analyzing the document are displayed on the screen. This is
obviously a programming mistake.

4) Yet another aspect is the time that LO Writer needs to load the document. 90
seconds for a process for which MS Word needs only four seconds is simply
grossly inadequate.
