Default Why is the first copy and paste into Excel 2007 getting slower?

I have an HP Notebook running Vista Home Premium. I have Office 2007. All
software is up to date. Every day i copy and paste several cells of data from
a website into an excel spreadsheet. I am simply copy and pasting a single
number from the html to one cell in the sheet. Over the last month however
the initial paste has taken longer and longer to finish. Where it used to
take about 3 seconds, now it is taking about 3 minutes! Subsequent copy and
pastes go quicker but are still longer than they used to be. I thought it
might be my firewall/virus protection so i removed it but the problem still
remains. Help?
