I did cause quite a GnuCash discussion here in Mar 2017, but this time I have one simple question. Since it is difficult to quickly create a large GnuCash test data file, does anyone here know about GnuCash performance on a "large" file of about 20,000 transactions? Specifically:
- How long do the load/open and save/close operations take?
- How smooth or snappy are various navigations, scrolling/paging
up/down, searching, filtering, etc.? 3. Are there any dangers of data loss due to possible GnuCash "comfortable size" limits?
My household accounts file contains 18 years of transactions and is 1.4MB using the compressed XML format. Loading it takes under 5 seconds, saving takes less than 2. Nothing else I do takes noticeable time, but I don't use reports or file attachments.
