I do not see the speed issue that you describe. But from the other postings
in this thread I think that the problem is related to AcadE thinking you are
running the same "report" and trying to update the existing table instead of
inserting a new table the second time.
Report tables carry some intelligence so that AcadE can determine if a table
should be updated when a report is rerun. In this case it is incorrectly
determining that the table should be updated. This is a known issue. There
is a workaround that will keep AcadE from seeing the intelligence on the
table. You can use the xdata editor supplied with AcadE and remove the xdata
ACE_TABLE_TYPE. This should cause AcadE to ignore this table and not update
it.
If this was not the issue, let me know.

AUTOCAD 2006 SP2A, PENTIUM 3, 1 GHZ, 512 MB RAM, 20 GIG+ FREE DISK SPACE. I
have been able to reproduce this problem over and over again. I even tried
the demoplc.xls file that is included with 2006. Try this on your computer
and see if you can reproduce it. Pick a drawing out of a project and try to
insert demoplc.xls, for me this works correctly the very first time after
starting autocad. Now open a second drawing out of the same project and try
to insert it again, or any other spreadsheet. this is where it all slows to
a snails pace for me. the second insert after rebooting and starting autocad
always slows down drastically or causes the computer to hang.
