+== Faster and more memory efficient log and report generation ==
+
+In [ReleaseNotes26 Robot Framework 2.6] logs and reports were heavily
+enhanced, and nowadays they can contain huge amount of data and still
+open to browsers fast and be responsive. The next bottleneck with huge
+amounts of data was that generating logs and reports took a lot of time
+and computer resources.
+
+In Robot Framework 2.7 log/report generation performance with the
+included `rebot` tool after test execution has been greatly
+enhanced. Exact improvements depend on the actual data, but based on
+several data points both `rebot` execution time and memory consumption
+have dropped about 50% compared to RF 2.6. Creating logs and reports
+as part of the test execution is also about 10% faster.
+
+With larger data sets these enhancements can mean that you get results
+several minutes faster and generating them takes gigabytes less
+memory.
