Have never benchmarked it, but it does a lot of work, which takes a bit of time -- About 5 secs or so to create a a 2-worksheet spreadsheet about 15K. It should be faster than that, at least for text and numbers. Here is a benchmark for a 1MB file on a PIII 800. The average time is less than 5 seconds:
Formulas do slow it down however since they are parsed via Parse::RecDescent. This is still under development, and does not currently support Macros. Requires 5.6.0, support for IEEE 64 bit float, Text:: and Parse:: packages. Spreadsheet::WriteExcel requires Perl 5.005 and Parse::RecDescent. This in turn requires Text::Balanced but that is bundled with it. IEEE 64 bit floats are almost a given. Macros will probably never be supported. The format of VBA macros is even more undocumented than usual. :-) Here is a screenshot from the Freshmeat page Update: Added benchmark data. Note, there is also an older review of this module.
