Validation rules - long time of promotion

Question

Hi guys,
We have verry big problem that we need to resolve as soon as possible.
On almost every form (we have about 100 of them) we have validation rules (on some even three or four rules).
Every rule checks some values on form, and do not let users to promote planning unit.
And now we are facing following problem: When user tries to promote the form, every validation rule is checked and it takes very long time (45 minutes today!)
We need to optimize this. What is the best option in sth like that? Can we increase some parameters to make this happen faster?
Please give some suggestions.
We use EPM 11.1.2.1.
Best regards,
Greg

Hi!
Unfortunatly adding VALIDATION_CACHE_SIZE parameter did not help (on form everything was set ok).
But we are a little bit closer now: the cause of the problem was validation rule called: Positive Values (it was checking if values in one column are positive).
Most of my forms have accounts in rows (lot of them - we have about 5000 account) but it is verry sparse (on one form we see only 100 of them - rest is empty and hidden). The valdiation rule was checking "if Current Cell Value < 0".
Can lot of rows and big blocks this be a root cause of the problem?
