I have a report which produces around 250 column, 30 rows table and which crush IE 8. Well, on faster computers it just slows down, consumes whole cpu, grabs memory but eventually displays stuff. It crushes visual studio shell when in preview mode too. Firefox works just fine. So the question is: what can I do with report to avoid this. On a related philosophical note: is SSRS abandoned by Microsoft? If not why then there are so many bugs and annoyances in the product? It's pretty powerful thing, but all these bugs just spoil everything. I'm using sql server 2008 r2 reporting services together with visual studio 2008 shell - perhaps there is a new version?
