c1802362 laid this down on his screen :
agreed - but I'm getting the same slowness even when I'm only reading
from the file (no mods or saves).

The reason I posted is that other routines of this type I've written
over the years don't have this problem - even when saving back to the
network

Show your code!

I pull huge amounts of data into arrays without any perceived slowness.
As I said.., if your code reads/writes to ranges or controls then it's
going to *always* be *much* slower than accessing an array in memory.
