Data warehouse extension - BIRT reporting

Hello,
I'd like to do something similar to what is described is this article http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/add-a-rational-team-concert-data-warehouse-extension-for-custom-attributes/index.html

I have BIRT reports that use lots of custom attributes and it starts to impact performances. The Jazz data source is LIVE_SNAPSHOT and I use the table com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem to generate the reports as I need access to itemExtensions.key and stringExtensions.key.
My question is; can I use the data warehouse extension point for this data source?
Thanks for your help.

I would really advice against extending the data warehouse the way the article describes. The article was based on version 2.0 of RTC and it covers the legacy datamart which has been replaced since 3.0.1 with the data warehouse. We are currently targetting the following enhancement request to 4.0.3:

[CCM] Make complex custom work item attributes, approval descriptors and Modified By data reportable and available in the data warehouse (242806)

Once the above is implemented, the data will be available to RRDI reporting.

Thanks for the heads-up. 

What can I do in the meantime to speed things up in BIRT reporting with RTC 4.0.1 when one uses many custom attributes. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for your help.
