Tribix 2.5.0/2.3.1 performnace comparison

In Tribix 2.5.0 release, the style processing part is totally rewritten during the effort to adapt the new BIRT 2.5 API change. So I've done some simple tests to see how it goes for the performance improvement. The result is interesting. Seems for certain reports, the single sheet exporting time looks much better, but the overall exporting time doesn't look much different.

The result can be viewed here:

Here's another earlier performance report for the old 2.1.0 release, compare to 2.5.0, we can see more than tenfold performance gain out there. Good job, BIRT:
