OK, now I see. Charlie's problem is actually completed different from this
problem. So what Carsten Dominik mentioned doesn't apply. This is because in
Charlie's case there are 1000 rows in a table, whereas mine has only two rows.
Since my formula only calculates two rows, and calculating the table doesn't
involve data input from anywhere else, it really doesn't make sens that it has
to be slow.
Needlessly to say that `org-mode' is fantastic, but with this issue, I have to
say that `org-mode' is unhealthy. Therefore, I really hope this issue gets
addressed. Please let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks in advance,
York
