Zotero running *incredibly* slowly in LibreOffice?

lesbiansweeneytodd

Hi all,
I'm using Zotero in LibreOffice on Windows 11. Every time I add a citation, it takes upwards of 10 minutes to process. I'm working in a fairly large document (150k words, 800 citations), but even still, processing times of 10-15 minutes make the tool nearly unusable. I'm using the latest version of Zotero. Any suggestions?

That's very slow for LibreOffice regardless, but make sure you have "Automatically update citations" disabled in the plugin's Document Plugins window.

If you do, provide a Debug ID for an operation that's slow.

Thanks -- that totally did it!
