Hi Amit - J works fairly well with spreadsheets. I think the size limitation would be more on the spreadsheet side since I can easily create a J array as large as the largest spreadsheet lgmat=. ?65536 256$0 even without memory-mapped files (on a machine with 1GB RAM). The problem might be if you're using Excel 2007 which can handle larger sheets.
Also, there's a potential bottleneck on reading and writing sheets if you do a lot of that.
