The problem persists in LO 4.1.0.0.beta1 in Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit in a fairly modern hardware (i7, 8GB RAM).
I don't see a significant improvement after disabling AA (In Tools > Options > View > Screen font antialiasing).
Reducing the size of the box containing the text does improve a lot the speed.
In my opinion, this should be labeled as a high important bug as it creates a very bad impression on people using LO for the first time.
