I created a relatively large excel spreadsheet in a quantum mechanics lab on Slater type orbitals on excel 2007. The computer I was using was a very old dell desktop pc running XP. Using my data and charts was smooth and didn't lag even slightly. However, when I use the same file in excel 2008 on my new aluminium macbook 2.0 with OSX 10.5 it runs absurdly slow. I have performed all possible updates and it doesn't help in any significant way. Is there any way to make this faster or is this just an inevitable result of running a Microsoft product in OSX. I don't know quite enough about the crossover between platforms to know.
Here is the file if anybody wants to try it out on there own.
