In the Report Writer app when selecting either "preview" or "execute" the app becomes non-responsive as the SQL process goes from 0-3% to the high 30's. The process has to be killed via taskmgr. Running the report via the web console returns the report very quickly. We need to have the output in csv or xls format so running from the Report Writer is required.
What's the difference between running the report from the web console than from the Report Writer on the server?
MS-SQL and SW are running on the same server with more than minimal resource [i.e.: CPU, memory and available drive space].
