Thanks for all the info. I knew there was a BIG problem but you have to
look for it on the internet. I know lots of people who've experienced
this slowdown firsthand so I'm surprised how little is out there.
Conspiracy? :o)

As an experiment I ran a spreadsheet macro in '03 and '07. 2003 ran the
macro in 18 sec, 2007 (w/ 4 x 3.2GHz processors) ran it in 2:33. When I
manually set the # of processors to just 1 it actually sped up the run
time by 4 sec.

I hope MS doesn't try to fool people into thinking this is a hardware
issue. My workstation is very fast, with all the latest updates, 4 GB
RAM, no junk programs running in the background. I run my box as lean
and mean as I can.

That's why I had to "upgrade" back to Office XP today. Couldn't handle
it anymore.
