The Zotero Word 2016 citation plugin slows down with chapter and thesis size documents to the point of being unusable. This is acknowledged by the Zotero folks. It's not a Word or CPU/memory problem.

I wondered about Bookends with Word 2016 for a thesis length document (>250 pages). Are there any performance issues given that a well-specced rMBP is used? Or any other issues (formatting, general strange things happening) with longer documents when using BE on Word?

And a follow-up question if I may.

Is there any word processor that is more friction free with BE than the others? In terms of performance, speed, ease of use, reliability, not generally messing up etc. Seeing as I've got just about every word processor.

Again, for >200 page documents. Not just for articles or chapters.

The Bookends add-ins for Word impose no performance penalty at all. They don't do anything until you invoke some function (e.g. scan). However, there is a size limit for scanning from within Word imposed by the OS. Please see this link for info about that and what to do about it

As for the best Bookends/word processor combo, I don't think anything beats Bookends + Mellel. And Mellel is famous for handling long documents well.
