Various MacOS extension issues.

[Jan Iversen]

Hi

I use LibreOffice daily on my Mac (Sierra), I happen to also be a developer and build LO for the Mac.

I normally work with versions compiled with —enable-debug, which give me plenty of debug.

I cannot recognise your timing, on my mac the example takes far less than a second.

There was a startup issue, with libreoffice, but that has nothing to do with slow performance.

We are some developers that work on Mac, so the love is there, but it seems a bit as if you have some other problems.
