--- Comment #13 from steve <lo at disr.it> ---
Chat conversation with Cloph:

Nothing we can do about it as it is mac that is copying the files from dmg to
target disk. Nothing special about that / LibreOffice package has no say in
that / is not involved at all. So the complaint is rather: macOS is slow at
copying files from a mounted diskimage (dmg).

Type of compression could be changed, but I doubt this would make any
difference.

If someone does research on why it is slow, I'm willing to have another look,
but as it stands now: I don't see any way to improve it. Is not the
signing/notarization, since the daily builds are not signed or notarized and
apparently suffer from the same slowdowns. So leaves only the compression used
as a potential candidate, but then again I cannot really imagine that would
change things.

Potential starting point: play with how the dmg is created, search for the
hdiutil invocations in the code etc:
