Power report builder is extremely slow in view mode

I have a very simple template in Power report builder. Just header with text and company logo. and footer with page number and total page number. When I push run button it writes "Loading" and takes a 2-3 minutes to show me the result.

What could be the problem here?

Have you also added any connections and datasets or parameters to your report? Report Builder will attempt to run the queries in all the datasets regardless of whether they are directly referenced in the report or not. So something like this could be slowing things down. I build small demo reports all the time and they render in a second or two.
