Re: Enlighten me - Mac vs. PC processing speeds

Without looking at your code, it's pretty hard to tell, but here are a few
things:
- 1. it's just slower on a Mac. (how much slower, depends on what you are
doing.)
- 2. displayupdating=false isn't quite the same thing on the Mac as windows,
the Mac display is still repainted under certain conditions.
- 3. on either platform, NEVER activate, and/or select items, ranges, etc.
It REALLY REALLY slows things down.
