I also need to respond to the guy above, who claims that OpenSource works differently. My response to him is this: Isn't one of the reasons behind OpenSource (these days) to increase acceptance by having more people and even companies to adopt OpenSource and Linux ? (I use OpenSource and FreeSoftware synonymous here - knowing that the meaning differs).
Now imagine a mid size and large company who adopts LibreOffice but can't process their Workbooks because of the performance issue during "scrolling". What is there that causes the huge performance loss ? The rows and columns are calculated. The graphics and charts are set and paint. You only move a big canvas. I can't help the developers if they recalculate everything during a random "scroll" process. Scrolling is elementary in an Excel sheet.
