When I load 400 pages of ODT document in Ubuntu 15.10 and Xubuntu 15.10, cpu usage becomes 31%. It is soffice.bin file. After editing, cpu usage becomes 50% (cpu0: 100%, cpu1: below 10% or vice versa) After saving that, it comes back to 31%. But it is still high.
BTW, Linux Mint XFCE latest version has no problem. Just below 10% usage. What's the problem? Isn't that almost same distro?
