the size of the data set begins to become an issue in the reports
before anywhere else. My largest file is currently 1.5MB compressed, and
while all the register functions, find, sorting, etc work just fine,
the reports are beginning to become a problem. Some of them are not
very efficient (especially Income Statement pre 2.2.2) with a single
run of the report taking a couplem inutes or more (not a very fast
machine here, but still...). Other reports aren't so bad, but it does
get to be a drag. 

So that's the issue I see with large data sets.
