I'm having problem with IE & SS. For some reason SS is quite slow on IE6 or 7 when using large spreadsheet, such as in Demo. This occurs when user enters value to cell, causing explorer to process and reload page, which takes around 2-3 seconds. Problem doesn't occur on Opera / Firefox. This is major problem when user wants to enter lots of data fast, but GUI doesn't allow him to.

There is also bug which makes it possible to overlap edges with arrow-keys when paging is turned on and spreadsheet is divided to several pages.

1) Performance in IE
Yes IE is a bit slow with these things. You can switch to the "formula" mode (click formulas in the top menu) to do some mass editing which makes things a bit faster.
For the new version I'll add a new method to switch to a manual recalculation of the fields.

2) I'll put the response for the bug in a separate response.

Added the paging to the new release (0.7).
