I'll try inputting the ASCE steel section excel data... an array of 30 or so values for 200 sections, and see how that runs, both for loading and recycling. Stuff I've done is small and time for loading negligible.
When I used to program, I'd have ASCII data files that I used the extension *.adf. I'd search for *.bdf files and if not existing, would load the *.adf file. Import these as variables (usually Type) and immediately store them as binary files aka *.bdf. When running a program and loading data, it was so much faster to load and save the data as binary. This was back before Windows, when machines were much slower... Kept it up with Delphi after windows.
I was able to load the first 116 lines so, a matrix 116x30... had to modify it to remove characters and the program doesn't seem to like nul cells. There is an error in line 117 that I couldn't find.
The data is loaded as soon as I change the filename and hit <Enter> and doesn't seem to slow anything down.
