I have opened two Excel 97-2003 files in compatibility mode. When I save one
of these it takes a long time >60 secs. If I do the same without the second
file open it saves quickly and normally <2 secs but when I reopen the second
file the issue returns. I have several different files that exhibit the same
symptoms.
I have played with deleting content (tabs of forumals) from both files
gradually and this gradually improves the saving time, thus the issue seems
dependent on the level of formulas in the files, as if some recalculation or
compatibility checker is being trigger at save time. But I have tried turning
off compatibility checking and tried auto/manual recalc plus saving without
recalculation options but so far have been unable to work around this. While
this save is taking place the Excel.exe process consumes EACTLY 50% CPU. No
i/o takes place, but memory usage does increase. Its driving me crazy as I
have large sheets that I need to keep in the old version for distribution to
staff with old versions and these sheets take >10mins to save and on some I
have had to kill the process because I don't think its ever going to
complete.
