As I mentioned in a previous email, I'm currently working on
converting 3-4 years of Pocket Quicken data to GnuCash format. I have
about 4000-5000 transactions split over 100+ accounts. I was
wondering if anybody has any experience with how GnuCash manages with
this amount of data. I noticed that accounts with 100s of
transactions are slow to react to date range changes. Slow meaning
in the order of several seconds on a Pentium 166MHz machine.
What part of the system is most likely to be responsible for the
processing delay? Is it in the engine or the GUI part?
I guess I could work around this buy archiving old data. I like
having all data available but it makes sense to start over with a
clean GnuCash file once a year. A script that archives transactions
older than a certain date would be useful.
Do people normally archive old data rather than keeping it online
forever?
