some AddIn for Excel SP1 performance improvements details beyond the readme... - TechNet Forums

Turn off what-if analysis in Excel forms and reports for improved performance.

What-is what-if?

When you set the Enable what-if analysis option to True for a matrix, PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel automatically performs what-if calculations that show the effect that the change will have on an assignment if it is submitted.

If this option is set to False, PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel does not apply any changes to the matrix. This can help improve query performance.

Some informal (but real world) feedback from internal deployments and some preview customers tell us that common refresh/what-if operations in SP1 are 50% of the time in RTM or better. In one extreme case which could take advantage of the option to turn of what-if the time was even 5%, but I don't think that will be typical.  Opening assignments sounds like SP1 is 50% to 33% of the RTM time. So far I haven't seen any negative performance feedback, knock wood, cross fingers, and any other anti-jinx superstitions.
