Thanks for the update, John! 

This is a beta release and I have found what seems to be a bug.  Every time I open or switch account registers, the performance degrades.  It isn't so bad when I first open the program, but as I continue to use it, it gets worse.  After opening and switching between accounts several times, each new change uses 100% of the CPU and "beach balls" the program for a few seconds. After a very short period of time, the program is unusable. Also, GnuCash consumes a lot of memory (200GB+) in the process.

This was not happening in the first "patch" that involved the new libiconv and libgdk-quartz and it is not happening in the MacPorts/X11 version (FWIW).
