Hi Mike,

You're absolutely right -- but I won't settle for that XML format that they had in Office 2003.

I've been working on a service program that works very similarly to HSSF, but doesn't call Java routines at all. Instead, builds an XLSX file (the native Excel format in Excel 2007 and up) by building the proper directory structure and the various XML files inside that structure, then zipping the whole thing.

I have a ways to go -- but for the document I mentioned earlier (the one that took 30 minutes with POI's XSSF) it only takes 30 seconds to build. That's a 60-fold improvement in performance.

If the sheet is not too complicated - or maybe even if it is - you
can probably do the same thing and do it much faster using XML style

(XML is wordy compared to the binary formats) but I haven't had any
problems a little zip action didn't help.
