Adding LanguageTool to Collabora results in very poor performance for spell checks

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 33.0.0
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Ubuntu
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • Nginx Proxy Manager 2.14.0
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • No
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • When adding LanguageTool
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • AIO
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • No

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I have Nextcloud AIO with Nextcloud Office / Collabora running very smoothly, thanks a lot for that!

But if I try to add LanguageTool for Collabora, following this guide ( all-in-one/community-containers/languagetool at main · nextcloud/all-in-one · GitHub ), spellchecking slows down to make it almost unusable.

Removing LanguageTool again speeds things up to normal.

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Add LanguageTool for Collabora
