Way better than any Office alternative but also extremely sluggish on my machine. I just use it to read csv files and even at that it's abnormally slow.

I use it on Linux and macOS and it's pretty fast with CSV files (although I'm not sure how large the ones you're using are!)

If it's specific CSV files that are causing an issue, and you don't mind sharing them, you could attach them to a bug report: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org

Also try resetting your profile in case that's an issue: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resolving_co...

25MB files "work" but still abnormally slow for my 16GB RAM machine, 200MB files forget it.

I'll do some more testing and report.

I can confirm that large CSVs are dog slow on libreoffice. If excel can do it a lot faster (which it can) this should definitely be logged as a bug.
