Restructuring a giant, ancient codebase to make LibreOffice work well everywhere

Generally I find their suite pretty full features and functional. There are occasional conversion snafus with MS formats, but honestly that is less on them and more on MS.

In all honesty, my biggest issue is that Calc can slow to a crawl when a sheet gets even moderately large, especially if using filter/sorting.

I’ve upvoted you - this sort of feedback is invaluable! Do you have an example spreadsheet? If you could log a bug and upload it, that would be helpful.

Open a LibreOffice Calc doc. Put a 1 in A1. Drag down to a thousand or so. Then drag to the right replicating that series out to say LL. On my decently beefy laptop (i7 quad core, 16 GB RAM, 8 Gb RAM free) it slows to an absolute crawl. On my server (16 dual threaded cores, 64G RAM), it can handle quite a bit more before slowing to a crawl.

I'll see what I can do. Is there a suggested place to upload?

Luckily he mentions ongoing multithreading work in the calc :)
