Hi All,

Apologies for the simplistic title here!

I was just wondering conceptually whether from a rendering efficiency perspective, what is the best route for a report containing a relatively large amount of data between the following two options (Assuming a 1000 item dataset for the purposes of illustration):

A) 100 pages with 10 records per page
B) 10 pages with 100 records per page

I appreciate that the type of report may be a part of the answer, so for this example my report simply has 4-5 fields per record. The details section of the report simple has a header which lists the title of the record and 3-4 fields within the detail section to display the record details.

No images, calculations, charts, or anything else fancy are used, I simply wondered if anyone had any info on how the renderer 'should' respond to these two situations,

Many thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Generally the paging is an expensive process. Thus the scenario with more rows per page but less pages should be more efficient.
