* Speed up Table Performance
AbiWord's current Table layout algorithm was borrowed from Gtk. While this has proved to be very robust and comfortuably handles merged cells and nested tables, it gets slow for very large tables (noticeable with over 100 rows). This project would be to improve AbiWord's table performance so that it at least matches that of Firefox.
