I don't know if your problem was the same as mine- I'm running 11.04 and
had HUGE delays in Inserting Rows.

I got rid of 3.4 and installed 3.3.X  and it solved all speed problems I
was having.

Here's how I did it-

I deleted 3.4.3 which had been installed via Synaptic and all of the PPA stuff
that had to be added.  Also deleted was the ./LibreOffice folder and an
old ./OpenOffice folder that contained who-knows-what but I read
somewhere to delete it...so...I did.

Then, I installed the following version;

LibreOffice 3.3.4
OOO330m19 (Build:401)
tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1

This version was found at- http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
The file was- LibO_3.3.4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
<http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.4/deb/x86/LibO_3.3.4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz>
146 MB

Once the file is downloaded and extracted you MUST read the README file
found in the main folder.  It describes how to install LibreOffice.  If
I can do it....so can you.  It's very easy and doesn't require all of
that esoteric ./configure, make, make install stuff that works for me
about 1% of the time.
