Neither Sebastian's code nor Dana's code is changing the selection.
But Dana's comment about page breaks might very well explain a lot
of things that you will also find in slowresp.htm on my site.

Turn off manually with Tools -- Options -- View -- (uncheck) Page Breaks,
or in VBA at the beginning of the most efficient code that works with
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

Actually, I don't think the slow down is in that portion of the code. I
think it's in the changing of selection as Mr. McRitchie suggested.
