If only the Earth was flat. Then we'd all be on the same time zone - huh (?)
But seriously. Let's start with question 1. It is Don Williams and I that handle the forums for CRVS, BI .NET SDK and Java (though for the Java part we most often get the answer from coworkers).
Now, you mention "For the project converted to VS 2010, I would have to stick with the embedded CR". This I need a clarification on as it makes it sound like the current project is referencing the Report Designer Component (RDC) - referencing the craxdrt.dll. If that is the case, you're out of luck re. any updates as the RDC is not part of CR for VS 2010. The RDC was actually retired in CR XI R2 (v. 11.5) and this version of CR has been out of support since June 2012. So, the summary of the news is;
RDC is gone and you will have to recode the app completely using the CR SDK for Visual Studio. As for the databases, that should not be a problem, but the performance question is still outstanding; compared to what? E.g.; if the report runs slowly in the CR designer, it will not run any faster using any CR SDK.
And finally, just to clear things up for me; what dlls are referenced in your project?
