Yes, using FoxyPreviewer will always be much slower than using REPORTBEHAVIOR 80
Internally, it stores all the report information, every object in some temporary cursors, and treats some data.
Specially for the case using "lExpandFields". This slows down the process even more !
My recomendation is to expand your field widths, and avoid setting that property !

The difference of performance is most noticed in bigger reports. I always avoid generating reports with more than 10 pages. IMHO, it's preferrable to offer good ways to make queries to allow showing the important data.
