Can anyone explain why I find it so much faster to run my workbooks created in Excel 365 in Excel 2003 compatibilty mode?

Even with some complicated and very long VBA macros including colour sorting and also using Data Advanced Filtering I have not found anything that I use that will not work faster after I do a Save As Excel 97-2003.xls?

I especially notice files opening and closing faster.

With thanks

Mike.
