David,
There is a known problem with LO and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) 
graphics.  They slow down video rendering tremendously, causing 
frustrating long scrolling time.  This may also cause a problem with 
printing, I never tried it.  When I converted my document's EPS images 
to JPEG, LO rendering/scrolling sped up tremendously.
Hope this helps.
