SSRS No Delay for First Report of the Day

This article describes a solution our reporting server administrators found to cut the loading time of the first report of the day.
Why?
Take any SSRS report, if one of us was the first to run it on that day, it would take an additional 60 seconds to get with it and display the report. Any subsequent running of the report loaded it almost immediately.
How?

What?
So I have a column in an SSRS report which displays a date. Being rather pernickety, I would like a question mark to display if there is no date to populate the field.
Why?
At the moment, the expression in there is something like this:
=Format(Fields!MyCompletionTime.Value, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss") -- yields 11/02/2014 11:21:32Sounds good, where's the problem?
