The description pretty much says everything.
My report was taking forever to load on PDF, but was very quick to load as HTML. I was deleting stuff to check where's the problem.
Turn's out it seems birt can't load a PDF for a big 'detail row' table.

Do the test to see if you find the same issue. Pretty simple: Start a new blank report, insert a table from the Palette tab (1 column and 1 details). Stretch the detail row to the end of the page. Save and try to run as PDF. it gets above 1Gb of RAM use and never finishes.

I tested this on different machines, different eclipse versions (mars and kepler) and two different birt versions:

<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.23" id="1">
    <property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 4.5.0.v201506092134 Build &lt;@BUILD@></property>


and

<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.21" id="1">
    <property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 4.3.2.v20140211-1400 Build &lt;4.3.2.v20140218-1056></property>


the problem happened on all ocasions.
Stretching the detail row for less than something like 85% of the page and it runs normally. Stretch a bit more than that and it eats all your RAM and never loads the report.

(I'm using windows 8, core I5 CPU and 8G RAM)
