[Libreoffice] autocorrect limits

Hi

Just to add that I remember once in OO 3.x that a very large
autocorrection file has impact in the time spent to load the
autocorrection contents, specially the replacement table. Today in pt-BR
it takes 1/2 to 1 second to display the autocorrection dialog box.

Regards

Olivier
