Excel 2013 Memory Usage. Can't do what Excel 2010 did.

I started this question on another thread and was directed here.  Hopefully you can offer some expert troubleshooting advice.

I have a 37 MB spreadsheet that tracks a few years worth of financial data (about 42000 rows and 40 columns).   In Excel 2010 32 Bit (on Windows 7 64 bit machine) it consumes approx. 1.2 GB of memory when loaded but runs ok.  I just "upgraded" to Excel 2013 32 bit (on Windows 8 64 bit machine) and when I try to load the sheet it loads and consumes a similar amount of memory.  However, when I try to refresh a pivot table in Excel 2013 and recalculate a few times the sheet I quickly get a "Not enough system resources to display completely".  Hard to believe given the Excel 2013 machine is a better machine.

What's up with Excel 2013?  Why does it not seem to be able to load/run the same sheets Excel 2010 32 bit could????  I like the new features but if I can't work with my main spreadsheet it's kind of a waste.

Any troubleshooting tips welcome.  I am trying to understand where the memory consumption is coming from.  Using FastExcel I can see the one sheet uses most of the memory but I can't understand why so much.  42000 rows is not a lot of data. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
