excel recalc on mac much slower than pc?

[dh]

Hi, we have a fairly complex spreadsheet (30 sheets...) with some form
controls used to change certain variables. On a (fairly slow) pc, these
controls work almost instantaneously -- you click one, the variable is
changed, and the model is recalculated in a fraction of a second. The same
operation on a (pretty fast) mac takes almost 2 seconds. Search of
microsoft support site brings no insight into this.

Does anyone know of a reason, or an excel setting, that might account for
the difference in speed between the two platforms?

Thanks.
