Thanks, Francois. You do raise a few interesting points:

Of course. This part is clear. However, (depending on what ones wants to 
report in the end, of course) it is possible to aggregate all the previous 
years in one "opening balances" file. This is something that "ledger 
equity" would do, in theory. There is also an option in fava that should do 
this but it does nothing for me. Anyway, hope that gets resolved soon, but 
you get the point. Avoiding parsing of years (I'm now challenging myself to 
export all of my historical data from Quicken, about 20 years of living in 
different countries) of data would help a lot with performance.

Exactly. That has just become one scenario on my todo list. :)

helps the performance greatly. The data loading is about 200ms with it. But 
adding years of data is about to spoil that.
