VBA Speed of Sub vs. Function when not returning a value?

Hi,

I know that we rather use a Sub than a Function when we do not return a value from a procedure.

However, here is a case whereby all the code in a Module (even when not returning a value) has been written with Functions instead of Subs.

Before changing everything (quite a task), I wonder:
In terms of execution speed for large procedures (not returning a value) which are repeated often, is a Sub faster than a Function, or slower, or the same?

Has anyone tested it or any clue about that?

In advance, thank you! :)
Best regards,

JBC

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
