I think it's a factor of things, but Excel isn't as stable as it once was. My friends spreadsheets include:
- Row count ~100k - Column count ~1k - The usual vlookup, etc. formulae. - Oracle extensions that sync tables to databases in the cloud.
Just like in many other cases, in-proc extensions might be easier to implement, or have lower resource demands than OS IPC, but than it has such unpleasent experiences, I bet those Oracle extensions in C, C++, COM, are to blame.
