a spreadsheet has thousands of lines and hundreds of columns. Most users (like

As has been suggested, there is usually no overhead in having so many rows and 
columns.  Until they are used, they exist only in the screen display and are 
not (explicitly) saved in the document file.

Problem is, you don't get to the end of your used field, most of the time you 
end up in the middle of nowhere among unused cells…. It would be nice to limit 
the size of your sheet then…

Someone has already beaten me to the suggestion of Ctrl+End, which moves to the 
last occupied cell.

Another idea is to hide the rows and columns beyond those you are using; this is 
easily done using Format | Row > | Hide and Format | Column > | Hide.  
Ctrl+down-arrow and Ctrl+right-arrow usually move to the last row and column 
respectively, but will move to the last unhidden row and column if you have hidden 
the rest.  I hope (and believe) that you will find that your mouse action is also 
limited to the unhidden region of your sheet.

I trust this helps.

not it does not make thing slow, at least it does not in my test......

How many rows/columns are in your situation?
And how many cells have forumulas in them (which should not make a difference...) ?
