--- Comment #3 from Jeff Fortin Tam <[email protected]> ---
It doesn't look like a strict duplicate (of bug #129228) to me either, and
"It's hard!" is not a resolution status in my view.

This being on 7.5, newer than 7.4, tells me it's also a different problem from
what was investigated and fixed in

For comparison now, I installed Gnumeric, and it was able to open this same
file in less than 11 seconds, with zero lag (whether scrolling or changing
pages) while editing the file after opening it. *Gnumeric*, ladies and
gentlemen! On the same computer, same OS, etc. There is then no reason why
LibreOffice Calc can't achieve sub-20 seconds open times (let alone be able to
scroll fluidly once opened, but I guess that's a different matter).

I also asked two friends to time how long it takes to open that file in Excel
on Windows. Results: for one of them (with an older laptop) it took 13 seconds.
For the other, it took... 3 seconds. Ouch.

I believe my initial "performance objective" guess remains valid: LibreOffice
should aim to open this sample file "in 10-20 seconds or less."

LibreOffice taking over 3 minutes to open this file weakens the app's
credibility for enterprise scenarios, or even simply for community marketing
when you try to convince individuals to use it (and you are then embarrassed
when it falls apart on their data).
