Speeding up the excel spreadsheet population

I have a excel spreadsheet which is populated from the data thru OLE from mainframe. The spreadsheet contains 40 coulmns atleast 50% of which have fromula's. The number of rows returned are around 6000+. It takes almost 10 minutes to populate the spreadsheet. I need to sped it up. Using tools - option- calculation-manual is not a option as I believe that impact all the excel spreadsheet on the server.

Can any one suggest some thing? the formula's mostly uses the Excel's native funtions which includes vlookup and arithmatic/logical functions.

Thanks.

Well, initially I did not understand the importance of giving grade. I thought it was in line with complexcity. Now I do. You deserved what I gave you this time.

Thanks for the sites. They are good.

Thanks again.
