Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2008 R2 fix release.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a report that is created by using a version of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) that is an earlier version than SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services.

  • The report is large.

    For example, the report has many pages.

  • You move the report to a SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services server.

  • You view the report in Internet Explorer.

In this scenario, the report takes a long time to be displayed. Additionally, the CPU usage is high. However, the report-creation time is the same as the report-creation time for the same report before the report is migrated to SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services.

Note The report-creation time is logged in the runtime logged data for the report.

If you disable the toolbar of the Report Viewer control by specifying the following parameter in the URL, the performance improves significantly:

rc:Toolbar=false

This issue occurs because the HTML renderer of SSRS generates many <div> elements when you view the report in Internet Explorer.
