Excel 2007 - Vista Home Premium

I have an Excel workbook for personal accounts. It has several sheets:
Current Account, Credit Cards, Statements, Income Tax....

Suddenly the Current Account sheet - which has much more info and
formulae - has suddenly started to run incredibly slow. It took 37 seconds
to paste just two small entries.

As the page loads, it can be seen to hesitate as it loads. The same when
scrolling the page. It behaves as though it is moving megabites of info
yet the total file size for the workbook is only 218KB.

Has anyone experienced this and can anyone help with a cure?

TIA for any input.
