Default exiting excel takes ages if any add-in loaded

This has got me stumped.

If I load any add-in, AND then unload it again, then quit excel, it takes
much tool long to quit. The app window disappears but watching it in the
task manager I see about a 90Mb memory bloat and 99% cpu usage for over a
minute. I've tried this with a variety of add-ins - mine as well as Rob
Bovey's, JKP's, solver.xla etc.

Alternatively, if I load excel with no add-ins at all and quit immediately,
it exits cleanly. I've cleared out the registry as best I can, got rid of
any unwanted or old add-ins refs. Tried the new detect and repair tool.
Running Excel XP.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
