High soffice.bin cpu usage after update

Hello,

I updated openoffice to Openoffice 5 and now I get high cpu usage.

I already searched the net but found no usable solution to this problem.

In some places it was suggested to disable the logo in

/etc/libreoffice/sofficerc

But that made no difference.

Here is the top screen:

Re: High soffice.bin cpu usage after update

Maybe it's something with your LO's config. Try to backup your ~/.config/libreoffice and start LO and check CPU usage after that. If problem won't be solved - replace backuped config files.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried your suggestion but it didn't solve the problem.

However, I experimented and found a few interesting things.

When I open a new file in openoffice 5 the high cpu usage disappears. But if I reopen my old openoffice file, which worked perfectly with the earlier version, which is about 70.2 kib, the cpu usage immadietly goes up to 100%.

I double checked. I launched my debian which is installed on another partition which still has an earlier version of openoffice; I opened my old office file and there was no high cpu usage on that one.

It is just openoffice 5 that can't handle this older file.

I copied the content of my old file into the new one and now it works fine.

Strange!
