Default Inserting & Deleting rows can take ages in Excel 2000


I have created an Excel application for Engineering Quality Document
(FMEAs).
These documents have: lots of merged cells, no more than 20 columns
generally less than 200 rows.

In Excel 97 the application ran fast enough not to be annoying.

The same code in Excel 2000... well you have many forced coffee break
waiting for it! (Some functions can take 20mins on a Pentium 3, 1GH
with 256Mb Ram, which used to run in less than 1 min)

I have looked at the code in great detail and have discovered that 99
+ of the time, the code is waiting for Excel to insert or delete
row.

I use the very basic lines of code:

Cells(x,y).EntireRow.Delete

Cells(x,y).EntireRow.Insert

Is there anything that can be done to speed this up
