Just for the record, since I made some of the improvements to Income
Statement, the pre-improvement time on my machine was over four
minutes for an income statement versus something like 45 seconds
now. So, we've come a long way, but there is still a long way to
go. At least I don't have time to go get more coffee while it
runs... ;)

I'm not sure what the cause of this poor performance is, but I suspect
the code that returns a list of transactions for a date range is
fairly inefficient...
