I don't think there is (it would have to add adjustments to starting balances 
effective the starting date), but I've started wondering if using one of the 
database formats would work better. I have data going back to 2002 so loading 
and saving is starting to get pretty slow.

So can anyone answer Jonathan's question and if the answer is no, would 
switching from XML to a database format (I can't remember if we can use Sqlite 
or just MySQL) give better performanc?. I would think it would unless the first 
thing gnucash does is read the entire database into memory.

Thanks,
Dave
