Research direction

Start by reproducing the markitdown "text.xlsx" > "output.md" CLI conversion with the reported 102108.46 KB workbook and inspect the conversion path used for .xlsx files. Measure where the 45-minute run spends time and check whether the issue is conversion behavior or a GPU-support question. Done should include a confirmed cause and a reproducible outcome or clearly documented limitation.
