output degrading

rbuser

it appears that printing our report (currently just printing to a file)
degrades over time. for example printing the first 500 pages takes
75234 milliseconds, the next 500 pages 101344, the next 500 pages
145594, etc. until it's a couple seconds per report page.

the report has lines, static text, and database fields (some which we
need to format such as address information). it's a one pass report;
cachePages is false; using a single subreport for the detail
information. we're using TIBOQuery, TDataSource to link to the
TppDBPipeline. the pipeline has a master/detail link on a single key field.

any suggestions on why there is this slow down and what we can do?
thanks!

Try setting Report.OutlineSettings.Enabled to false and Visible to false.

that helped a bit but still see about a 30,000 millisecond degradion per
500 pages.
