You said it's a LARGE Excel file. The problem isn't really going to be the library you use, but the size of the file you're doing work on.

Unless you reduce the size of the file, or import it into some other data structure, you're going to have performance problems no matter which library you use. Depending on what you're doing, that may not be possible.
