Slow rendering when exporting to a PDF

I have a report that when run in Maximo and then exported to a PDF can take a few minutes to render. I see a transfer rate of around 146 bytes/second. I was able to track down the issue to a hyperlink. This isn't a BIRT hyperlink, but a text control using an html tag e.g. <a href="<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.w3schools.com"&gt;Visit'&gt;http://www.w3schools.com&quot;&gt;Visit&lt;/a&gt; W3Schools.com!</a><br />
Only using an internal SharePoint link.<br />
In eclipse I can run it either way and it is very fast, in Maximo it is fast until I export.<br />
Maximo 7.5.0.1 BIRT 2.3.2<br />
After additional testing it appears it doesn't like the SharePoint link.<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'><a href="https://sharecenter.blah.com/livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=660032911&objAction=browse&viewType=1,">Instructions</a></pre>
but does like<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'><a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools.com!</a></pre>
<br />
Go figure?
