Yes, but on that basis, products that use the same data acquisition method should yield identical "performance". They don't- look at Powerbuilder, for example.
As for HTTP; I take your point and will think about that. But have you considered PPTP to get your excel data? Seems a better option to me...
Just asking...

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
