It was an example - the slowness (to me) is present for the entire interface. It was just easy to demonstrate. (Also in both LO and Google Docs I can type plain text into an existing document just fine.... I'm curious what you find slower in Google Docs than LO.)
My point is that this rant is not, as far as I can tell, a "local software good, cloud software bad" rant. There are reasons to believe that, e.g. debuggability and computing freedom, but UI speed is not one of them.
