 ## 2024-05-24 - openpyxl read_only optimization
 **Learning:** `openpyxl.load_workbook(..., read_only=True)` is significantly faster (1.75x) for parsing large files but requires explicit `wb.close()` (preferably in `try...finally`) as it keeps file handles open and `Workbook` objects may not support context managers in all versions.
 **Action:** Use `read_only=True` for read-heavy Excel tasks and always ensure `close()` is called.
+
+## 2024-05-25 - Openpyxl vs Direct XML for Metrics
+**Learning:** Even with `read_only=True`, `openpyxl` overhead is significant (5x slower) for simple tasks like counting formulas or finding error strings compared to direct `zipfile` + `xml.etree.ElementTree` parsing.
+**Action:** For read-only scans of specific tags/values in large XLSX files, prefer direct XML parsing to avoid object creation overhead.
