In addition to what the others have said, make sure you are not saving the printer environment information with the report.

VFP9 differs from VFP8 in that it referencs some newer printing DLLs in Windows (VFP8 uses some that were deprecated long ago!) and these have a tendency to hit the network looking for network printers when they really don't need to. Removing the printer driver information from the FRX can sometimes make a difference.

As for new features vs speed, well, I think every programmer understands that you can't get something for nothing.
