Bill,
Following is the timings from the latest cvs. After the 2nd time
through, it is fairly constant (mostly). This is definitely an
improvement over yesterday, but it is still not good.
Test methodology: I opened the report (Balance tracker), selected
calendar year 2000 (jan 1 to Dec 31), selected all accounts, changed to
report to "Net gain", changed the plot width to 750 and turned the table
data on. I then clicked "apply". Repeatedly. I then exited.
