There should be no limit on the file size other than the hard disk size and any OS imposed limits. I have a 16.1Mb files that loads in a few seconds.
It is unlikely 2.6.19 itself would be upgraded during an Ubuntu upgrade. It may be possible that a library that GnuCash uses could have been upgraded. It may be worth looking at the GnuCash dependencies for 2.6.2 (these should apply for 2.6.19) shown in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies and see if any were upgraded. Normally newer versions than the specified version are OK. You should have the GTK2 libraries for v2.6. The GTK3 and GTK2 libraries can be coinstalled if other software requires GTK3. dpkg -l | grep <package name> will give you the details for the installed packages. Unless you are building you don't need to worry about the development heade files for the package only the runtime. No need to use the whole package name just deinitive substring will usually get the info you require. I am running Linux Mint 19.2 which is Ubuntu 18.04 based but I am using GnuCash v3.7 . My kernel version is 4.15.0-65-generic. I only have 8Gbyte of memory and run with swap but your figures for free don't seem too unusual cf mine free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7.8G 4.7G 338M 251M 2.7G 2.5G Swap: 2.0G 13M 2.0G /tmp/gnucash.trace is generated when GnuCash starts up and is overwritten at each startup. You would need to rename it if you want to keep it between runs. Have never experienced freezing problems in GnuCash but I use Evolution as a mail client and it has produced a fault which wipes the screens and locks the system. Hard disk indexation can sometimes lock the system up and deny you access as well.
