Heh, heh.  My data file now spans 8 years and is over 22M.  It takes
less time to load for me, but I'm running on a dual 2.4 GHz Xeon
system.  We don't use any of the business features, but consulting
income is included (accounting is being done on a cash basis, so no
AR/AP).  I haven't even been using the tax features, but I'm slowly
retrofitting those.

If there was a non-manual way of splitting the data files, I would do
it.  It is nice to have immediate access to *all* the data, but at
some point I'm going to have to split things.  Unless we get a
database backend that will let me still use scheduled transactions....
