Office 2007 Toooooooo Slowwwwww to be Usable?
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. |

Is this issue repeated in other Office 2007 applications or just Excel? You
may want to look in the office discussion groups for memory issues related to Office 2007. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

By "demo version" are you referring to an ancient slow beta version or to
the Trial version? "Concerned with Office 2007 Speed" t.com wrote in message ... I have a Centrino Duo T2300 with 1 Gig of Ram and loaded the demo version of Offict 2007 Professional.

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, http://www.decisionmodels.com/calcsecrets.htm - Mike http://www.mikemiddleton.com "Concerned with Office 2007 Speed" t.com wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Toooooooo Slowwwwww to be Usable?
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. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Mike Middleton" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Toooooooo Slowwwwww to be Usable?
Spreadsheed is ~ 8300 rows of data (345 days of hourly data). The
recalculation is turned off and I need to do a simple X-Y plot of 5 variable versus time. To get graphs by month I have copied the same chart and change the X-Scale min/max values to show 1 month of data per Tab. the result is each graph displays ~750 data points of the 8300 defined in the graph range. In Excel 2003, the ability to switch tabs is "instantaneous" in Excel 2007 it takes ~5 seconds the first time and is shorter if it is reselected. Each tab that is selected used a significant chunch of memory. This makes Excel 2007 unusable to me and I have removed the Office 2007 Professional Trial version and have gone back to 2003 where I'll have to stay is this is Excel 2007's performance. For a spreadsheet that supports 1,000,000 rows, graphing of this data set should be a breeze not a significant slowdown from 2003.
