Scheduled reports run automatically at defined intervals (e.g., every hour, daily at midnight). The results are cached so users see data instantly without waiting for the search to run.
Report acceleration pre-computes summaries of your data. When you enable acceleration, Splunk builds summary data in the background, making future searches dramatically faster.
Acceleration is best for searches that use transforming commands like `stats`, `chart`, or `timechart` over large time ranges.
