My new el7 install on brand new hardware which is vastly superior in terms of processing power, GPU power, disk IO, can't even scroll a simple 3 column spreadsheet on the screen. How is that improvement or advancement?

Let me say just this:

I installed Libreoffice on one machine running Centos, and it was too slow to be
useable.  So I downloaded the rpm package from the Libreoffice website and
installed that version, and it works fine.

I installed Libreoffice on another machine with almost identical hardware, running
the same version of Centos, and it works fine.

So I can only speculate that there might some package installed on one machine which
isn´t installed on the other, and that package makes Libreoffice useable.  But wich
package is that?
