Desempenho do Método de Carregamento de Dados do IronXL
Quando você preenche uma grande planilha no IronXL, o método de carregamento que você escolhe tem um grande efeito sobre o tempo que o arquivo leva para ser gerado. O benchmark abaixo compara três abordagens com o mesmo conjunto de dados: 20.000 linhas por 55 colunas, cada uma escrita no disco como um arquivo .xlsx.
Visão Geral do Teste
Cada teste preenche os mesmos dados e grava o resultado no disco, registrando tanto a duração em segundos quanto o tamanho do arquivo resultante.
- Adicionando dados célula por célula: ~24 seg, 3094 KB
- Carregando de um
DataTable: ~13 seg, 3094 KB - Carregamento de CSV: ~9 seg, 3094 KB
O tamanho do arquivo é idêntico em todos os três. Apenas o tempo para criar o arquivo muda.
Os Métodos
Opção 1: Adicionando Dados Célula por Célula
Esta é a mais lenta das três. Cada célula é atribuída individualmente através de loops aninhados.

Note o cache columnLetter: construir a referência da coluna uma vez por coluna em vez de interpolá-la dentro do loop interno evita alocar uma nova string a cada iteração. Reserve este método para casos que necessitam de lógica ou estilo genuíno por célula.

Opção 2: Carregamento a partir de um DataTable
Um meio termo sólido, e significativamente mais rápido que a inserção manual de células. Construa um DataTable na memória, depois entregue tudo de uma vez para LoadWorkSheet.
string[] fruits = { "Apples", "Apricot", "Banana", "Blackberry", "Blueberry", "Boysenberry", "Canary Melon", "Cantaloupe",

"Galia Melon", "Kiwano (Horned Melon)", "Mouse Melon", "Muskmelon",
"cherry", "nectarine", "Butternut squash"};
var workbook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX);
DataTable table = new DataTable("Fruits");
foreach (string fruitName in fruits)
{
table.Columns.Add(fruitName);
}
int rowCount = 20000;
for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++)
{
table.Rows.Add(fruits);
}
workbook.LoadWorkSheet(table);
workbook.SaveAs("C:\\Temp\\LoadDataTableDirectly.xlsx");
string[] fruits = { "Apples", "Apricot", "Banana", "Blackberry", "Blueberry", "Boysenberry", "Canary Melon", "Cantaloupe",
"Currants", "Dates (tree dried only) Dragon Fruit", "Durian (purchase cut) Figs", "Gooseberry", "Grapes", "Grapefruit",
"Lemon", "Lime", "Loganberry", "Longan", "Loquat", "Lychee", "Mandarin", "Mango",
"Blood Orange", "Papaya", "Passion Fruit", "Peach", "Pear", "Persimmon", "Pineapple", "Plum", "Honeydew",
"Rambutan", "Starfruit", "Tamarind", "Yuzu", "Açaí", "Abiu", "Ackee", "Breadfruit", "Cempedak",

for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++)
{
table.Rows.Add(fruits);
}
workbook.LoadWorkSheet(table);
workbook.SaveAs("C:\\Temp\\LoadDataTableDirectly.xlsx");
Imports System.Data
Dim fruits As String() = {"Apples", "Apricot", "Banana", "Blackberry", "Blueberry", "Boysenberry", "Canary Melon", "Cantaloupe",
"Currants", "Dates (tree dried only) Dragon Fruit", "Durian (purchase cut) Figs", "Gooseberry", "Grapes", "Grapefruit",
"Lemon", "Lime", "Loganberry", "Longan", "Loquat", "Lychee", "Mandarin", "Mango",

Next

workbook.SaveAs("C:\Temp\LoadDataTableDirectly.xlsx")
LoadWorkSheet ingere a tabela inteira em uma chamada, o que é por isso que supera escrever cada célula à mão. Use isto quando seus dados já estiverem em memória estruturada.

Opção 3: Carregamento a partir de CSV
Mais rápido no geral, e a escolha natural para dados planos e delimitados. Escreva as linhas para um arquivo CSV, depois leia de volta com LoadCSV.
string[] fruits = { "Apples", "Apricot", "Banana", "Blackberry", "Blueberry", "Boysenberry", "Canary Melon", "Cantaloupe",

"Galia Melon", "Kiwano (Horned Melon)", "Mouse Melon", "Muskmelon",
"cherry", "nectarine", "Butternut squash"};
var sb = new StringBuilder();
// Step 1: Add header row
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(",", fruits));
// Step 2: Add 20,000 identical rows
string rowData = string.Join(",", fruits); // same as headers
for (int i = 1; i < 20000; i++)
{
sb.AppendLine(rowData);
}
File.WriteAllText("C:\\Temp\\csvfile.csv", sb.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8);
var workbook = WorkBook.LoadCSV("C:\\Temp\\csvfile.csv");

For i As Integer = 1 To 19999
sb.AppendLine(rowData)
Next
File.WriteAllText("C:\Temp\csvfile.csv", sb.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8)
Dim workbook = WorkBook.LoadCSV("C:\Temp\csvfile.csv")
workbook.SaveAs("C:\Temp\LoadFromCSV.xlsx")
LoadCSV analisa o texto delimitado em massa, o que o mantém à frente das outras duas abordagens.

Conclusão
Para obter o melhor desempenho do IronXL em grandes conjuntos de dados:
- Use CSV: o caminho mais rápido para importação de dados brutos quando a fonte já é plana.
- Use um
DataTable: ideal quando os dados já existem em memória estruturada. - Evite escrita célula por célula: só vale a pena quando você necessita de lógica ou estilo por célula.
Todos os três produzem o mesmo tamanho de arquivo. O método de carregamento é o que muda drasticamente quanto tempo o arquivo leva para ser gerado.
