Conisderable time in excel paste link process

[Francois]

When I do a copy of excel chart into PowerPoint and choose paste special
Link, it takes a considerable amount of time for the chart to be displayed on
the PowerPoint slide (about 1 minute), whereas I do a Paste with no link, it
is very quick.
What can cause this problem ? How can I do the paste link in an efficient
way without waiting so long ?

Can you show how you're doing the paste? This is exactly what I'm trying to
do right now, but I get a failure when I paste.

I'm copying the chart from excel like this:
chart.ChartArea.Copy();

Then on the PowerPoint side I'm doing:
slide.Shapes[2].TextFrame.TextRange.Paste();
