+## Performance ##
+
+There has been a great deal of interest in performance numbers for spreadsheet
+creation/reading lately, so here are gooxml numbers for this
+[benchmark](https://github.com/baliance/gooxml/tree/master/_examples/spreadsheet/lots-of-rows)
+which creates a sheet with 30k rows, each with 100 columns.
+
+    creating 30000 rows * 100 cells took 3.92506863s
+    saving took 89ns
+    reading took 9.522383048s
+
+Creation is fairly fast, saving is very quick due to no reflection usage, and
+reading is a bit slower. The downside is that the binary is large (33MB) as it
+contains generated structs, serialization and deserialization code for all of
+DOCX/XLSX/PPTX.
