COM object execution unacceptably slow

[akashaboi]

Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Am running CF MX6.1, IIS
and WinXP Pro to test an application (high spec machine with plenty of RAM
etc). All CFM templates run perfectly however whenever I execute code to
generate COM objects (specifically Excel), although I am getting a successful
output, the execution time is between 2-4 minutes. Essentially all I am
creating is an Excel file with two rows and two columns. I'd appreciate help on
this one as I am on a development schedule which is stretched as it is.

I would reccommend against using COM in this situation, there are proven
alternatives out there. You can set up a datasource to excel, or use POI (HSSF,
actually) which is a java API to talk to excel files.

CFMX 7 also includes new reporting features that allow you to create reports
with excell as the desired output format.
