Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing speed is glacial for large file

Hi Girvin,

Most of the graphics in the document are PDF pages that I've imported
into Draw and then cut and pasted them into an odt file, which in turn
is incorporated into the full document as laid out in the odm file.

Also normal scrolling of the odm document is horrendously slow as well
(minutes to scroll to the next page and redraw).

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.
