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.

That's just switching already open tabs, not closing and reopening? That sounds like a memory leak in display logic... and I think I know where it's from and I may have already fixed it. I'll get a new beta up tomorrow or Friday.
