Re: why would a large addin save in 2 seconds or 18 seconds

is all disk access slower on the desktop? maybe you have a drive going bad. try
saving to a flash drive or something.

I forgot to add that there is no antivirus software running.
I don't have Google Desktop Search. I use X1 and it's also on one the
laptops with a fast save time.
There are no Addins installed.
My Personal.xls file is the same on all computers.

I just uninstalled office 2003, and then installed just excel 2003.
With no service pack, save time is still slow. I installed SP2 just
downloaded from MS. With that installed save time still slow.

I tried going through task manager and shutting down all unnecessary
processes. No affect on save time.

I watched the CPU time in Task Manager during the save operation,
which lasts 11-15 seconds. "System Idle Process" is around 98% the
entire time. Excel %CPU never goes above 3%.

Something weird is going on!
