Check the indexes on your backend. If you are using SQL Server, do you have a clustered index? Does your search criteria match an index? And finally, make sure the server hardware is adaquate.

Another thing to check: are you minimizing the number of records you need to fetch from the server?

Lastly, Go to www.redmatrix.com and check out dataclas. If you find yourself in a situation where you can ditch the RV's, try Dataclas.

Good luck!
