The problem persists in LO 4.1.0.0.beta1 in Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit in a fairly modern hardware (i7, 8GB RAM).
I don't see a significant improvement after disabling AA (In Tools > Options > View > Screen font antialiasing). Reducing the size of the box containing the text does improve a lot the speed. In my opinion, this should be labeled as a high important bug as it creates a very bad impression on people using LO for the first time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411542 Title: [Upstream] Impress very slow due to Anti-Aliasing Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org OpenOffice.org 3.1 in Karmic seems to be noticably slower than OpenOffice.org 3.0. My suspicion is that this is because of the new anti-aliased rendering. Some examples of how it is slow: * Moving text boxes around is laggy. * Re-arranging slide order is terribly slow and after I had moved the slide to its new location I waited about 60 seconds for it to finally land. I tested the OpenOffice.org 3.1 in Jaunty with similar problems.
