Re: [DOCS] Optimizing Journals for ledger performance

[Simon Michael]

Well the big one is when your journal gets huge, split it up by year or something, so you're not parsing and searching 
old transactions you don't care about.

I do this for speed, but also have journal including the others, for when I want the full history. There are some 
journals and shell aliases at http://joyful.com/darcsden/simon/hledger/examples .
