Performance of multiple charts on a report (RenderStream issue with RS2000)

I have a 'questionnaire analysis' report. The report consists of approx
25-30 questions and each question has a bar chart next to it to
show the average score out of five for each multiple choice answer
within a question.

The report ends up containing 25-30 bar graphs all contained within a
List control. The report performance is acceptable using URL access but
is exceptionally slow (well over 1 minute) when using SOAP access.

The performance bottle-neck seems to be the multiple calls to
RenderStream to render all of the images that get generated when the
report executes (one image for each chart.)

I was wondering if there was any way, still using SOAP, of avoiding
using RenderStream or of speeding up performance. Report caching is not
really an option in my scenario nor is splitting into multiple pages
(user wants everything on screen at once.).

I have a similar issue. I have a report that reports the movement of various different items that are purchased from our company. The process involves the running of a VB application that extracts, calculates and generates data on a reporting table. Then, the application runs the Reporting services reports and renders them to PDF files. The PDF files are then to be e-mailed to several managers at the company. Of the three reports, two of them only have one Graph. These have multiple pages with the graph at the top of the first page. Those two reports generate the one graph and multiple detail pages just fine.

However, the third report does a page break by item with a graph for each item at the top of its respective page. I am only getting the first page generated through the Print preview in Visual studio or rendered to the PDF file through the VB application. When I view the report through the web interface, I get all of the page breaks and graphs as expected. Several of the managers want to store these e-mails in outlook for future reference, but if they don't contain all of the data, it isn't much help to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -

|||Some more information for you all. When I tried to export the same report from the web interface to PDF, this failed to export anything beyond the first page as well. Now my management is really getting restless about this not working. HELP!
