     + tdf#92064: LO unusable with Tibetan super long paragraphs
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92064

       + Closed bug: still somewhat slow, but no longer unusable
       + thanks for the performance improvements (Hossein)
   + CairoSDPR from Armin
     + further small optimizations
   + Playing with a new baseline with Windows (Cloph)
     + there, 2 builds for the same user is slower than 2 separate users
     + some junit test is failing as well, maybe only on VMs
     + current: Windows 2012 -> replace it with something newer
