I've tried your spreadsheet on my machine and both the updating of the matrices and the re-draw of the resulting graph is not as snappy as it is in Excel, but it still took only ~2 seconds. This one may depend on spec's of the machine being used. Was it faster in previous releases on the same machine? /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
