Yes, this hildonized version of Abiword is an unmitigated disaster... sooner rather than later it crashes and / or freezes (starts running at near 100% cpu load).

Only viable alternative at the moment is Debian Abiword 2.6.4 under Qole's 'easy-debian' environment... launch times are not bad, about 30 secs to an empty doc window. Once launched, things are speedy...!
