What's making it takes so long is that it reads/writes directly to the
worksheet[s]. This will always be slower than dumping the range[s] into
an array and process in memory first, then dump the data into the
target worksheet.

In this case each name's data would have to be put into a temporary
array and dumped to the respective sheet in turn. This would be a bit
more than trivial and so will take some time...
