Is Crystal calling to subreports asynchronously?

[olitvinov]

I wonder how Crystal calls subreports and if it’s multithreaded(or makes DB calls simultaneously).
I’m using Crystal XI. There is a main report with 6 subreports in it.
My concern is the speed of processing(how slow it is).
Each subreport would be pulled by Crystal by its own stored procedure based on a parameter.
So the question is if crystal makes multithreaded calls to all subreports or it makes sequential calls?
And if it’s sequential, can I configure it to be multithreaded to perform multiple simultaneous calls to DB?

I would appreciate any input or suggestion or best practices.
Thanks,
Oleg

Why can't you have a single stored procedure for all of the data? Much more efficient, since it does the SQL operations just once for the report, and with the server doing most of the work.
