Try getting a stack trace of what Gnumeric is doing by running under gdb and pressing Ctrl-C at an appropriate time.
If you can file one of the sheet in bugzilla.gnome.org, we can check if we see a slowdown for that sheet. I am guessing probably not. why 1.12.0, btw? If you're compiling yourself, you might as well grab the latest 1.12.x which currenly is 1.12.7. M.
