zero to 52000 tables in 2.57 seconds. Each with locked labels and formulas. Instantaneous jump to any table.

hot damn!

1.4 million tables in a just over a minute. This is in bash. I might try it in C and see if I can get it down to a few seconds per million. Or I could try it in Python to see how slow I could make it.

You could be a heavyweight contender in the sc event in the Owlympics.

I've got enough on my plate already, what with managing Bohemian Grove and suing pornographic comic book publishers...

Have you ever had a need to do this type of work in the "real world"? NOT putting it down but just curious if this is real-world for you or just an academic interest.

owl
What kind of work?

Snit
Any.

Porn?

Snit
I would not be surprised to find you need that type of data tracking and calculations to track your collection... but whatever.
