Hello,
I know this may sound weird but I’m currently working on a project which is using ActiveReports v3, the process basically involves creating an instance of a given report, calling Run and then exporting the output to PDF multiple times in parallel.
I couldn’t help but notice that each report takes a few seconds to be generated and, since there are thousands of them, it take a good time to generate them all, even in parallel.
After doing some profiling I noticed that the “InitializeComponent” of the reports take around 40% of the CPU time whilst the method “Run” is taking around 30% of the CPU time.
So here’s my question, is there any way to improve the performance of the InitializeComponent seeing that all it’s done is from the auto generated code, maybe some parameter or configuration that ActiveReport has to improve this?
And second question is: is there any way to improve the “Run” time? There’s no hard optimization, so far, so I’m trying to figure out a way to reduce this time.
Any help would be much appreciated
PS.: I installed the trial version of ActiveReports v12 to see if it would improve the performance and still have the same problem, both “InitializeComponent” and “Run” take most of the CPU time.
