That is what I have decided on doing for now. (Of course, I only started using
gnucash 3 months ago, so my data set isn't too large)

All reports take a date range, so this is perfectly workable. The only one
which doesn't is the main account view, which always lists global totals, as
well as the "Net Assets" status line; however, this can be thought of as a
feature ;-)

I am unsure how well this scales with more data in gnucash, but I am confident
that my system will get faster until the end of the year... ;-)
