Default Does installing Service Packs help with Excel performace?

Does installing the Microsoft Service pack 1,2 and/or 3 decrease the amount
of time a spreadsheet takes to open, calculate or update the links?

Also, do I need to install all 3 service packs seperately, or does
installing Service Pack 3 cover all updates for 1 and 2?

Thanks

The most recent service pack always updates prior service packs if missing.

Assuming you mean 2003 SP3

go here for details of the upgrades

Each service pack has all previous updates in them, so SP3 will work.

There have been some performance improvements made, so it can't hurt, plus
you'll be up to date on security issues. The Excel team is still working on
performance improvements, but I personally don't know if they'll ever get
2007 up to 2003/2000 speeds.
