I'm not having as many problems with this issue as tozor, but I have
seen reports sporadically taking abnormally long to complete recently.
I run a set of reports every morning to get updated performance data,
and usually they complete within a couple minutes.  Yesterday I had a
report that took over 2 hours, and this morning it took about 30
minutes.  Just wanted to throw that out there so others know that it
is not necessarily an isolated issue.
