I'm running Excel 2003 under Windows 2000 (no choice...this is at work). My
desktop unit has a Pentium 4 2.66 GHz chip and 2 Gig of RAM. I've had to turn
off the auto recalc because it takes forever. I literally mean forever. If I
have a file with around 9,000 records and I have to do some vlookups and some
simple calculations or functions, I might as well take lunch. I only get this
snail's pace response with Excel. Lately, any vlookup to another file takes
from a few minutes to maybe ten...and that adds up to an enormous waste of
time. Any ideas?
