Saving a large workbook spent about half its time building worksheet XML,
mostly in small per-cell allocations. The writer now appends to the part
directly:
- Cell references, row numbers, style ids, shared string indexes and
numbers are appended without temporary strings (push_a1, push_u64,
push_num), and text is escaped in place (push_esc, with a fast path for
plain ASCII).
- sheetData walks the cell store in its own row-major order instead of
copying every address into a BTreeSet and a per-row BTreeMap and looking
each cell up again. Cells outside the store (pictures, spill values,
table headers) still go through the sorted set.
- Formulas with nothing the file spells differently (no LET/LAMBDA, no
_xlfn function, no spill, @, trim operator or structured reference) are
printed from the shared expression instead of being cloned and rebuilt
twice by the file rewrite.
- The A1 printer in gridcraft-formula appends references to the output
instead of formatting each anchor into its own string.
The output is byte-for-byte unchanged.
write_perf, 200,000 rows (2.0M cells, 14.2 MB package), release, Ryzen
16 threads / Linux, 36 interleaved runs each:
before: median 2083.9 ms, min 1615.7 ms
after: median 1501.3 ms, min 1192.3 ms (-28.0 % median, -26.2 % min)
What remains is mostly deflate (zlib-rs, level 6), about 70 % of the save.
Tests pin the exact sheetData of a workbook covering row settings between
cell rows, spill values, every value kind, number spellings, escaping and
formulas with and without a file spelling (generated with the previous
writer), and check each appending helper and the formula fast path against
the code they replace.
The formula fast path is guarded by a test that runs both paths over every
function in the gridcraft-functions registry (a new dev-dependency, allowed
by the layer rules), in 15 surrounding shapes covering every operator and
rewrite, so a function or rewrite added later without updating the trigger
list fails it.

* fix(ui-egui): dropdown menus regrow while open
Use craft_ui's ComboBox and combo::Menu so a menu that shrank (a filter with
no matches) grows back when the filter is cleared (egui#5225). Repin
craft-libs to one revision.

`cargo run --release -p gridcraft-xlsx --example write_perf -- [rows] [runs] [out.xlsx]`
builds a sales-style workbook (order ids, dates, categories, numbers, two
formula columns with cached values, booleans, sparse notes, a summary sheet)
and times write_xlsx, printing each run and the median / minimum. An optional
output path keeps the last package for byte comparisons between builds.
