What are the performance differences between templates and macros?

Templates and macros serve different purposes. Templates are pre-defined structures, while macros automate repetitive tasks. Generally, macros can be faster for repetitive actions, but templates are better for consistency.

Can you give me an example of when to use a template over a macro?

Sure! Use a template when you need a consistent format for documents, like reports. Use a macro for tasks like data entry where you repeat the same actions.

Are there any performance drawbacks to using macros?

Yes, macros can slow down performance if they are overly complex or if they manipulate large datasets. It's important to optimize them.

How can I optimize my macros for better performance?

You can optimize macros by minimizing loops, avoiding unnecessary calculations, and using efficient data structures.
