Seconded.  When I fire it up over ssh, the first thing I do is
ignore it for about five minutes while the reports build.  But
since so many people have problems with saved reports, I just put
up with the delay of building them each time (usually takes over
100 seconds to start locally, yet the CoA is up and finished
within 30 seconds).
