I have noticed that even the RTM version of Excel 2007 seems slow to render
charts. I have not used it enough to actually quantify the behavior. There
are other obstacles to successful charting in 2007.

You haven't described the content of the 15 MB sheet, but you may get some
insights from the Excel pages at Charles Williams' web site, for example,

By "demo version" are you referring to an ancient slow beta version or
to
the Trial version?

I have a Centrino Duo T2300 with 1 Gig of Ram and loaded the demo
version
of
Offict 2007 Professional. I have a 15 Meg spreadsheet created in Excel
2003
which I loaded and saved it in Excel 2007. It has a number of graph
tabs.
When I press a graph tab it takes almost 5 seconds to switch between
tabs.
This was almost instantaneous on 2003. It this the expected
performance.
In
addition the the memory size increases significantly with each graph
tab
and
is currently sitting at over 400 Meg.
