Performance is relative easy to test: open a CSV with 100k rows in Excel, Calc and Google Spreadsheets.

I suspect most of Libre Office's slow performance is a result of using JAVA.

Nope. From https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Java - "Note though that very little of this Java code is actually part of the shipped product." A lot of the Java stuff is ancillary, and chunks of Java code have been rewritten to C++ over time.

Part of the reason that LibreOffice is slow is that it was essentially debugged into existence. Michael Meeks from Collabra would often post to Planet Gnome about his optimization work. There is certainly hope looking forward. It is a lot faster than it used to be, and they will hopefully be enabling Multi-threading in Calc for LibreOffice 6.0.

Did you just time travel here from 1999?

Try doing that in MS Office for Mac, equally as bad. :(

IT team at a previous employer had to setup Windows VM for some sales folks (who otherwise loved Mac) because it was so bad.
