Re: very slow "copy" operation in a big document
I have attached it.
To reproduce: go to the 2nd sheet, "test" and try copy a cell then paste. The "copy" op itself takes very long; while the "paste" op is fast.
Inside the 1nd sheet "large", not the "copy" but the "paste" operation takes very long.
EDIT:
I noticed that grouping (outlining) rows/columns affects the behavior in the "large" sheet: when the groups are collapsed, it's as described above; but when uncollapsed - the "copy" op is very slow, but the "paste" is much faster.

Re: very slow "copy" operation
I just tested the same file in the most recent, trial version of Microsoft 365's Excel, and there are no such delays there, and regardless of outlining status.
