Currently I upgraded to Jet Professional 2018 with the latest build from Jet Essentials 2013 update 1. One of my report is taking almost 12 to 15 minutes longer and it displays the Current Activity "Prefetching replicated data" for 10 to 15 minutes.
I am able to go back to my old computer run the same report on Jet Essentials 2013 and the report runs in 3 minutes and 29 seconds.
I found a post referring to Shadow Sheets in Visual Basic and I double checked that I do not have any Shadow Sheets.
Also, I run the report in Jet Professional with all the new Performance options on and off without any noticeable increase o degradation on performance.
