This is where I'd question whether it IS a problem, sure it can be a nasty problem, I have some spreadsheets that rapidly expand (because I have to put daily data into them, and excel is a pig when it comes to file management/sizes in general) but my question would be, IS this a problem for anyone, what file sizes are you reaching, is it becoming some sort of problem (size of file too large, taking too long to do something, etc etc).

I'm curious to know others file sizes, simply because I only use GnuCash for personal use, and what would you consider "too large" (assuming that everyone leaves on the compression).

Personally, I like having all the history, but that's me :)
