Need help with debugging LO freeze

[Daniel Naber]

Hi,

I'm the author of LanguageTool, a style and grammar checker. We received a 
lot of reports that LO freezes for several seconds if LanguageTool is 
installed. I have now debugged this and it seems the problem occurs with 
LanguageTool but is actually in LO and will also affect other grammar 
checkers. My findings are in the bug report - I can see three potential 
fixes, all of which might have bad side-effects, but I need help on how to 
proceed now:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35270

In a nutshell: the freeze happens when SvxLinguConfigUpdate::UpdateAll() is 
called because it's slow. If we turn on caching in 
LngSvcMgr::getAvailableServices(), the freeze is gone. Any help is welcome.

BTW, unless I didn't make a mistake, this also affects LightProof, only that 
the freeze if shorter there (<400ms).

Regards
 Daniel
