Year's end, file size an issue?

[Mike Roberts]

How big is yours?  I am about finished porting over from MS Money that I
have been using for probably 15 years with data from another program back to
the late 80s.  Again not a business, just home user, investments, bank
accounts, credit cards, etc.  My file size is about 1,300 KB, dramatically
smaller than the 80,000+ KB of the Money file.  GnuCash seems much crisper
than Money, so I am quite pleased.

Hi all -- alright, sort of prompted by Jeff Kletsky's accounting
explanation, and sort of just because I've been wondering what the list has
to say:

For "average Joe", are there some "best practices" that should be followed
at year's end in order to wrap everything from (in this case) 2009 into a
nice package, then stash it away for safe keeping, and only take it out to
look at later for analysis sake (for example)?

I've only been using GnuCash since 5/2008, but my file size is seeming to
affect GnuCash startup, etc.

So: not a business - just a "normal" home user, tracking investments, bank
accounts, credit cards, etc...

Feel free to point me to good sources instead of wasting bandwidth if this
is the umpteenth time this has come up.

TIA!
