Out of interest, I am testing the limits of Writer on largeish documents, 
edited as one unit (i.e., not as Master Documents).   

In Writer I have a large test file, 1.6 MB, prepared some time ago on earlier 
versions of OO (certainly on OO 3.x, possibly on OO 2.x); this file has ~2,500 
A5 pages and uses Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles; when I open it on my normal 
machines running Xubuntu 16.04.3 and make some change to the Table of Contents, 
OO 4 versions freeze, taking perhaps two hours to rebuild the ToC.  If I open 
it and make the same change on an RPM based distro or Windows, the ToC is 
rebuilt in a few seconds (~10 secs).

I have tested this on Xubuntu 16.04.3 (XFCE), Ubuntu 16.04.3 (Gnome), Debian 
9.30 (XFCE), all showing the same freeze.

On Centos 7 and Antergos 17.12 (RPM distros) ToC rebuilds in about 10 seconds.

On Windows XP, ToC rebuild is about 10 seconds.

I can email the test file to any member of the DEV list who is interested.  The 
file itself is of no importance, except as a test example.

I am grateful for the help of Kay Schenk in this matter.
