Upgraded from 6.4.3 to 6.4.4 on a PC with Ubuntu 18.04. While Calc would hang for a suffering but tolerable minute or two with high CPU usage the latest installed version of 6.4.4 crashes and forces a recovery.
I moved the same spreadsheet to a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 OS on another partition but the same PC, same hard drive, and it hangs but does not crash with a 6.4.3 LO.
Why does the hogging of 1 CPU occur and continue now to the point of crashing at least Calc? Is there something configurable that can be done? It is so frustrating.

Currently the issue on the 18.04 partition is related to the automatic saving of the file. I have resorted to a separate physical timer. Yet to test this same file on the 20.04 partition.
