Hi,
The newer version is faster than the olders versions but probably the setting of your new installed software are still default. Did you compare the with your old (tuned) software envirnoment?

I'm also curious about this issue since we've also noticed that the reports takes longer time to run after we upgraded to Series 7 version 2 (7.1).

Lysen,
It's important to understand (especially in the case of IWR) where the slowdown is actually occuring. For example, if there is an IWR report that is running "slow" try opening it up in the client Impromptu tool first. If it runs slow there, you know it isn't an IWR issue. If it is fast there, then you might look at tweaking some settings on your PDF server -- by default the PDF server component creates "portable" PDF files which means it embeds ALL fonts installed on the server, into the pdf document (yes, can you say slooow) -- you can go into Configuration Manager, under the PDF server and change your server to only imbed a specified list of fonts (typically there are standard fonts your reports use) -- you maintain that option and the list of fonts there...
This is just one suggestion -- I'll need more data to comment further. But Christenhusz is correct, the MR2 version should be faster once it is configured "properly"..

On performance issues at least try to discard that it's a DNS problem.
Try that by changing the Gateways on Configuration Manager (Server Configuration) the server name by its I.P. address instead (reconfigurate Access Manager Directory Server pointing to the IP).

So an installation procedure AGAIN??
Does anyone know if MR1 available yet?
Other experiences after a few weeks of using 7.1 indicate a less stable package overall.
-- Powerplay tends to crash, the local version and the enterprise version, when we suppress zero-values.
--Users are locked out of access manager, reports all of a sudden don't run correctly anymore
--Can't apply settings in configuration manager (wait 5 minutes, and then it DOES work... weird!)
It's these 'small' things that ruin a bit of the fun working with cognos...
But a server reset usually works miracles...
