GnuCash is just a slow program.  If you watch the splash screen while it
is loading (if you have not disabled it), at the bottom of the screen is
a line telling you what it is doing now.  If it stops changing, that is
a clue.  My file takes the better part of a minute to open on a computer
that is less than a year old.  Do you have a Solitaire program to play
while you are waiting?
