Libre office writer is really slow
I am writing some documentation that has about ~40 pages, 80images plus few tables and and diagrams. The whole *.odt file size is under 32MB. But the response went from slow to unmanageable. Even scrolling takes a lot of time. Adding text is slow, adding images or saving stops the program for several minutes(sometimes even more) and process manager shows it "Not responding" while doing so.
I have tried modifying memory settings in Tools>options, tried it on several computers(2 of them had Intel i7, 8GB RAM and SSD) and I have updated LibreOffice to latest version without any effect.
Same file opened in MS Word without a problem, smooth scrolling "real-time" editing etc.

What Font is the document using? Is it using Liberation Sans or another Liberation font? I've noticed this on Windows as well. Office uses different default fonts, so as long as they're on the system they will display, avoiding the issue. Had to stop using the software to make sure those fonts were not on system.
I have the same problem with tables in Writer. Running v. 6.3.3.2 on Mac OS 10.13.6.
