I’ve been using LibreOffice on both Windows and Linux, and I’ve noticed a big difference in performance; on Linux it runs super smoothly, while on Windows it often feels laggy (e.g., UI delays, slow scrolling, startup time).
I’ve tried adding LibreOffice to my graphics card list and enabling hardware acceleration (Skia), but it didn’t help much.
Is there any technical reason for this difference? Are there known optimizations or settings that can make LibreOffice perform better on Windows?
I’m curious whether this is due to LibreOffice’s backend (VCL, Skia, etc.), Windows system integration, or something else. Because sometimes I feel that Microsoft intentionally make LibreOffice slower in Windows machine.
