Recreating the report was illuminating. It appears that adding any of the custom fields to the "select fields" section and then executing it sends the sql process from low single digits to high 30's % and the report writer becomes unresponsive. The report is "availability - last month" which I produce, export as excel format and send up the chain o' command. The custom fields allow mgmt to sort by contact name [responsible group] and device type [servers, printers, switches, etc.]. I can run the canned availability report but without those fields. Using the canned report with adding those custom fields or creating it from scratch ends the same way.
