Re: [GNC] GNUcash is using 538MB

If it is indeed RAM, and it gets worse over time, that is a memory leak, and I'd bet the devs would like to know about it. A bug report would be in order in such case. Regards, Adrien On 12/15/22 6:04 AM, David T. via gnucash-user wrote: I'm guessing you're talking about RAM, though, as this

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "documentation," but I don't think the Guide or the Help would be appropriate places to make such references. Section 2.1 of the Guide gives a few basic explanations on underlying accounting concepts. This section, in fact, states that "you do not need

Great questions, thanks! I've got data since about 2010, for just me. No securities at all, average transaction description maybe 15 characters, and I have no idea how to compress XML. I've checked settings, and it says I'm compressing files, and backing up data for 30 days. What else do I

Re: [GNC] GNUcash is using 538MB

538MB for what? The application takes up somewhere around 500MB on the HDD. When running, the application may use large amounts of RAM; currently, my machine has a load of about 150MB for GnuCash. When stored, GnuCash files can vary wildly in size, depending on the storage method. My XML

Re: [GNC] GNUcash is using 538MB

Maybe you have a lot of security price history. Maybe you are not storing your data in compressed XML form. Maybe you just give every transaction a lengthy description. Maybe you have thirty years of history in your file. I can go on. On Thu, Dec 15, 2022, 5:28 AM Ed wrote: > How can
