	I have recently upgraded a Mac SE from 1MB to 2.5MB of RAM.
Prior to the upgrade Excel documents opened relatively quick but now
after the memory upgrade there is a noticable degradation in speed of
opening. Also the operation of "deleting" a row or column takes an
unbelievable amount of time. The problem occurs whether you run in 
Finder or Multifinder, whether RAM Cache is 32,64,128k or OFF, and
changing the Application memory allocation up or down has no affect.
It only appears to be doing it at v2.2 as I am running v1.5 on another
Mac without any problem. There are no viri apparent, and the desktop
has been rebuilt. Other applications like Word 4.0 and MacDraw and 
WordPerfect all appear to work perfectly normal. Dropping back to 1MB
corrects the problem so it only appears to be at 2.2. There are no
INITS running, just stocko standard Apple system. Any help would be
greatfully appreciated.
	Not that it is related necessarily but on the same machine a 
6-7 page spreadsheet got turned into a 367K Excel document by 2.2. This
only happened once and appears to still be a good document very much
inflated (bit like the OZ economy EH!). This only happened once and may
or may not be related to the above problem.

Thanks for any help in advance
