Export DataSet To Existing Excel Worksheet

VB2005. I have several DataSets that I create or grab from an external source. One example is
Dim sql As String = "SELECT TOP 30 * FROM myTable" & vbCrLf & _
"WHERE Area='YY' AND CarNum='734EP' " & _
"ORDER BY ProcDate ASC;"
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, myOLEDBconn)
'create a dataset and fill it with the returned data.
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, "MyData")

Once I have these DataSets I then have to pump them into a specific worksheet in an existing Excel2007 workbook. The connection and interaction with Excel and the workbook/worksheet is already established and that works. But I am stuck in exporting the DataSets
into the specific worksheet.

Note that I have already scoured the web and MS Community site and all code that I have found so far iterates through each and every row and column of the DataSet and then adds that to the worksheet in a cell by cell manner. This is fine and in testing that works. But there has got to be a better way to do this. For even a moderate sized DataSet the exporting just takes a long time. 25 records with 15 columns takes about 10 to 15 seconds.

I've also been experimenting with some scratch code I found that converts the DataSet to an ADODB Recordset and then uses the xlwksht.Cells.CopyFromRecordset function to export it in one fell swoop. I haven't got this one to work just right but it seems in the end it also does an iteration through each and every record and field to convert to the ADODB recordset.
