there are 4 kinds of delays
- Query Execution time (Database side-in your case 5 mins)
- Transferring results across the network to the client/web browser (network bandwidth & latency
3)Computing local report variables, formulas, local report filters, alerters, etc. within the report - Rendering the page (page layout, page margins, page numbers, etc.)
I your case I think you should look at 2,3 and 4th step
