title: SSRS LocalReport Mode takes a long time to Render in PDF
body: <p>I have a web application that needs to display a number of reports in PDF.  It is an asp.net application and I am using the SSRS LocalReport object to Render in PDF and then writing to the page. I have to use the local mode ( instead of the remote mode ) as I do a lot of processing on the data in C# before sending to the report for rendering.</p>
  
  <p>I have found that these report are taking a long time to render - some over a couple of minutes. This is unacceptable as the previous application, which I also wrote in 2000 using Crystal Reports  V8,is rendering these report in a couple of seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I am using VS 2012, and the report Viewer 2012, and I am amazed that technology has regressed so much in 12 years. </p>
  
  <p>I have notice that SSRS has tremendous problems with page rendering in general and I think it is because the structure of SSRS is control based as opposed to Crystal Reports that is really page based.  So Crystal does not stuggle as much with regards to page sizing , headers , footer and page numbering. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone with a similar problem and any suggestion would be really appreciated.</p>
