spreadsheet

has anybody found a library that works well with large spreadsheets?

I've tried apache's POI but it fails miserably working with large files - both reading and writing. It uses massive amounts of memory leaving you needing a supercomputer to parse or create a 20+mb spreadsheet.

Surely there is a more memory efficient way and someone has written it?!
