Report rendering speed

rbuser

Howzit,
Using RB10 with delphi 7.
P4 3.4GHz 1GB RAM
I have setup a test application rendeing a grid-like report using lines and
shapes. The report takes about 1second to render each page. Is this kind of
time to be expected? - or can i get it to run faster.

Regards
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

Is this report accessing data? If so, try printing the report with just the
grid and nothing else. For a reference, a simple report containing no DB
aware components or large images should not take anywhere near 1 second per
page to render.

Howzit Nico,

The report is linked to a TppDBPipeline that is linked to a SQL Server
TADOTable of about 3000 rows. So, i'm just using the table to repeat the
detail band. No DB aware controls.

Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

As a test, remove all DB connections from the report and replace your
DBPipeline with a JITPipeline set to contain 3000 records. If this still
takes 1 second per page, please send this in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
