We have a simple SSRS report that acts as a landing page. It has hyperlinks to subsequent reportreports.
It seems the problem is that SSRS somehow treats these connections differently than if a real user hitsopens the report through a web browser. Even though the report is run it doesn't appear to be handled in the same way as if a user is hitting it via the portal. And so.. the first user get hit withexperiences a big delay.
Using the F12 debugging features in internet explorer, I managed to reproduce and capture what the browser is seeing. SSRS only took 4 seconds to produce and return the report, however in the browser it took 122 seconds from click "go"trying to open the URL to the screen being rendered. 2 minutes!!! No wonder users are complaining.
