Start-up time is irrelevant to me as I only start the application once
in the morning and GnuCash starts a damn sight faster than Firefox
with 35 extensions! ;-)

As data are all loaded at the beginning of the session, report
generation and searches would neither be slower or faster with a SQL
back-end?

I realize I could write a Python script to parse and modify the XML
file. I just feel I'd be a little more proficient doing it in SQL as I
have been dealing with Postgresql a lot recently.

Thanks for your help, Derek.
