Well the do nothing option does work for reports.  However, I have been
using gnucash for some time and am now well into my third year of
transactions in my books.    It is getting a pain as it slows every
thing down a bit and you have many transactions that you need to scroll
past, always need to specify dates on searches etc.etc.

So the feature that Linus Vepstas is adding for this will be well welcomed!
