LibreOffice pretty lag under Chinese/Linux: 2 aspects

[jiero]

I’m Chinese, and I type English frequently. And I use Desktop Linux.

Comparsion: a lower specs office’s Windows XP Desktop and my Ubuntu Laptop (much better CPU/RAM and similar graphics)

1. When combined font style in use, LibreOffice may be too laggy to use under Linux.

When my documents contain text in both Chinese & English, the whole LibreOffice program become laggy under Ubuntu when using English Interface, as Simplified Chinese Interface become not usable unless I specify font and language.

2. Interface act much slower in Ubuntu than under Windows

On my Desktop PC, with Windows 7 LibreOffice perform drop-menu much faster, in compare to it with Linux Mint 14. While firefox is generally faster under Mint.

I heard LibreOffice isn’t native GTK+ application, is it a big factor for this issue?

When the Chinese Interface is in use, those lags become more obvious.

Which version of LO? fdo#62993 appears to be the same issue, but on Mac OS v10.8. Unfortunately the bug is not properly filled out. Could you add further details to it?

@jiero,
