cpu at 50%
I have a spreadsheet with 130,000 rows, and vba macro running several loops
torugh it. The odd thing that I noticed is: The CPU usage stops at 50%. I am running windows XP, with office 2003 AND Excel 2007. How can I make it use all 100%? |

cpu at 50%
I'd say is caused by the Hyperthreading setting on your PC.
Hyperthreading appears to be 2 proccessors and so when the CPU is maxed out it only looks like 50% is being used. If the system actually coud use hyperthreading you could achieve 10-20 percent more throughput, but mostly it's just a waste of time. So disable HT and then it will say 100%, but won't actually accomplish any more. locochon2010 wrote: I have a spreadsheet with 130,000 rows, and vba macro running several loops torugh it.
