Hi,
I should clarify that when I mean transactions I am referring to double
entries. Each business transaction, from the e-commerce stuff I do, outputs
on average five double entries: one each for sales, commissions, shipping,
coupons and so on.
So 500k double entries would yield around 100k
Rizwan,
I am intrigued. You say you're a new user, but you have 500,000 transactions.
Wow!
You've been getting the usual kinds of responses to your question: how fast is
your computer, how many reports are you running, be patient, don't close
Gnucash, etc.
But it sounds as if you're pushing
There is a setting under Edit > Preferences > General to compress the data
file. I think it is selected by default. In Windows 10 compression
happens very fast so that is not likely to be an issue with speed.
However, because the entire database is [theoretically] in RAM, at some
point that
I will check. Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems like there used to be an option to encrypt, or zip the working
file when it's the default xml type. If that's still an option, and is
enabled, it could cause a delay relative to the file size
Kind regards, Greg Feneis

I do not believe it is a hardware issue as this is a new PC. I am running
gnucash on Win10 and reading from a, relatively slowish but still very
quick, local NVMe SSD.
I am using the default file types. Does it make a difference if I change?
If so to what other type and
Thanks for your reply.
I don't usually keep reports open so I do not believe it is a reason. Also
I recall on an occasion where a report tab, that was kept open, took time
to reload on activating the tab. So i assume that time was saved on
opening. Will check later today.
Slowness is perhaps due
Also note that leaving report tabs open when closing GnuCash will slow it down
opening back up as each of those reports is loaded once again. (same goes for
all tabs)
If your workflow can handle it, either close all tabs except the Accounts tab
before exiting, or, don’t close GnuCash unless
Slowness to open and to save and close, and even to commit any transaction
edit has been a known problem for some time now. Releases after about 3.4
or so are supposed to be much improved, but there may still be slowness if
there are a lot of account tabs to open or reports to recreate. There

How large is your accounts file (I assume that you are using the
default xml file
Hi all,
New user of GNU cash here.
My accounts have a large number of transactions in them.
This seems to slow the program down, and it take a minute or so to open it
each time.
Would there be a way to archive older previous year transactions so that
the program runs faster?
Thanks very much
