Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 5.4 unusable with large document including comments

There are at least two bug reports, you may find many more.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61558
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38295

If those don't fit just file another issue.

To my knowledge there is no good workaround. You could try the Navigator which has a section for 
comments.
