Exponential grown worktime of StreamWriter

[IAkumaI]

Description

I use StreamWriter for generate large xlsx files. It's just text files: no formatting/styles.

// about 100 columns with different data. But data size does not seriously matter in my tests
dataRow := []interface{}{"Some", "Cell", "Values", "and 100 more"}

// Do not check errors in issue
excFile := excelize.NewFile()
streamWriter, _ := excFile.NewStreamWriter("Sheet0")
for rowNum := 1; rowNum < 50000; rowNum++ {
  streamWriter.SetRow("A"+strconv.Itoa(rowNum), dataRow)
}

streamWriter.Flush()
file, _ := os.Create("some.xlsx")
excFile.Write(file)

In code example we create excel file with 50 000 rows with StreamWriter.
All code will consume about 1.5 minute on my server.
But if rows count increased to 100 000 in will consume not (2 * 1.5) min, but about 10 minutes.
If there are million rows, it takes about 1.5 hours.

Time increates not linear. Is there any way to make time more linear and speed up much rows creation?
