File size limits in Excel-2003

[Guest]

Are there any file size limits to an Excel-2003 file?
Do you see any slowing down of performance after the file size increases
beyond a limit?
Are the any limits to the number of sheets that can be inserted in Excel -
2003

FWIW, we might categorize this as interesting XL trivia:
(Who would want/need this many sheets?)

Max number of worksheets - 5,447

Trying to insert another to make 5,448 sheets, caused XL to crash.

As tested by Dana in XL07,
And verified by Harlan in XL03.
