SQL reports can be exported with CSV, TSV of ODS format.
When report has thousands of rows, using ODS format is around 10 times longer than other formats.
It also loads CPU and RAM a lot.
The longest call is expandTable().
I found that the call on OpenOffice-OODoc lib can be optimized.
Based on https://grep.metacpan.org/search?qci=&q=expandTable&qft=&qd=OpenOffice-OODoc&f=examples%2Ftext2table
Test plan :
1) Don't apply patch yet
2) Create a new SQL report : Home > Reports > Create from SQL
3) Enter a SQL that will return thousands of results
4) Run report
5) Click Download > Semicolon separated text (.csv), look execution time
6) Click Download > Open Document Spreadsheet, look execution time
7) Apply patch
8) Redo 5) and 6) and compare times, CSV export should be the same but ODS export should be better
My tests shows 1,5 seconds for CSV export.
And for ODS export : 18 seconds without patch and 8 seconds with patch.
