Default Searches slow for some Fast for others?

Our head accountant downloaded the statments into a spreadsheet.
Because the line limit is reached when doing we end up with two
worksheets. She then gives a copy of the .xls to the other two
accountants.

When our head accountant does a search its extreamly fast...it takes
about 13 seconds to reach the account at the bottom of the first sheet.
When either of the other two does a search it takes about 80 seconds to
reach account at the bottom of the first sheet.

Btw the second page has an extreamly fast search for all
accountants...as fast as the first sheet for the head accountant. One
accountant thought it was the size of the first sheet so he cut and
pasted to make the first and second sheet the same size...the first
sheet was just as slow as it was before and the second sheet just as
fast.

This did not make since to me...the head accountant has a IBM Thinkpad,
CPU 1133 mhz, and 250mb Ram while the other accountants have Pentium 4
desktops, 2.41Ghz, and 512 mb Ram...all using Win2000 and the same
Office package.

I had one of the other accountants create the original .xls from the
statements. The same thing happened with the end result...the head
accountant with a laptop had a faster search than the others.

Does anyone understand what is happening to us?
