Problems changing x-axis with large data sets

I have relatively large data sets (for example 8 sets of 1500 x/y-values)
that I want to plot in one chart. So far all is fine. But if I want to change
the x-axis scale (to show the curves better, for example from 0-100 to
20-40), everything becomes very slow. Just to mark one curve or try to move
the chart within the sheet can take one minute! If I do the same i Excel
2003, there is no delay or problem. Is there a simple solution, or do I have
to stick with old Excel?

Excel 2007 is a notoriously poor charting performer, particularly if you
customize the scale of an axis. Excel 2007 SP1 somewhat improves on this
poor performance. Excel 2003 will always outperform 2007.

Thank you for your response. I installed SP1 and it seems to be better now.
