  We haven’t heard of any performance issues such as this regarding KB2597166.  If this continues to be an issue, you can receive technical support from Security Support or 1-866-PCSAFETY.

  Anyone else experiencing performances problems with Excel 2010 SP1 after installing Security Update KB2597166? I've seen a few users have Excel hog a lot of memory when sorting and filtering data. After removing KB2597166, Excel performs these tasks fine.
