It only takes a few seconds on my low end linux box which is also about 6 yrs old. It takes 25 sec to be completely up and most of that time is loading the data file.

Re: Suggestion
For me the time to move, decrypt, and decompress the data file and generate the register views and report views is so much longer than loading the program that I do not even try to measure that part.

As to your suggestion I am about to integrate some code changes that drop the separate business modules and integrate all of that code into the core of gnucash. Rather the opposite of what you are asking. The reason for this is that most of the business functionality is already part of the gnucash core. The only things still in the loadable modules you see at startup were some gui related bits and pieces. Instead I would like to ask: have you actually timed the loading of the business modules in the whole of the startup time ? I have my doubts whether removing them will have a noticeable improvement on the load performance. Having said all that however, I do agree it would be very nice to improve the load performance. John Ralls has looked at this in the past and from that work I remember most time is lost because gnucash makes plenty of jumps between c code and guile code, not due to the loading of one random module in itself. Work is on the way to improve this, but we're not there yet. There are several aspects that are planned in this respect: 1. the use of guile will be reduced in the core 2. module loading will probably be revisited at some point 3. the long term goal is to make gnucash a database driven application, to eliminate the slow load time of the data file itself Regards, Geert ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
