Hi Chris, On my system, I have about 150-200 Asset and Liability accounts, going back to 2010. One currency (USD), but about 50 unique commodities. I am testing on version 3.5 on Windows 10. The default Net Worth Linechart took 31 seconds to load (This is the accounting period by month with a Weighted Average as the price source [When using nearest in time it's faster still, but trying to compare fairly], and all accounts). Average balance took 14:30 to load the exact same options.
Thanks, Matt On Saturday, May 18, 2019, 8:15:54 PM CDT, Christopher Lam <christopher....@gmail.com> wrote: These benchmarks are always useful. Would you mind describing characteristics of your books? e.g. number of accounts, number of currencies/commodities, approx no.transactions etc? I'm sure 3.5 average-balance should be faster than prior versions. This may be moot if average-balance will be hidden soon, but IMHO the networth linechart taking 1 minute is still an interesting issue and I'd be keen to know why.
