I guess the old format (xls) is quicker as it is not XML-like structure, rather than memory-dump of running excel process? I might be wrong here.
- mushufasa 2y agoanything involving complicated formulas and macros can run a lot slower on the macOS versions of excel compared to the windows versions even using comparable hardware. I had to run a bunch of VBA code for an economic model for my thesis and, while it was possible to run on my MacBook, for whatever reason it was an order of magnitude slower compared to computer lab windows machines (which technically had worse hardware).
