This is something that works for me (using NumPy for the arrays) :

  xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
  xlApp.Workbooks.Add()
  xSheet = xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
  xSheet.Range(xSheet.Cells(row,col), \
    xSheet.Cells(row+aLen-1,col+1)).Value = array

My array is 2*8196 and the speed of this 1 line is also very low.
Does someone have other suggestions for speeding this up ?
