Mac OS/X, Gnucash 2.6.5 get quotes very slow

[Edward Doolittle]

That reminds me of a problem I've been having with Get Quotes on Windows
(but not on Mac). I still haven't resolved the problem, but my theory is
that the command line that GnuCash constructs is too long for Windows so
gets truncated. The Windows equivalent of beach ball spins for a long time,
presumably while the shell is waiting for the rest of the command line, and
in the end I have to kill it manually in the shell window and the quotes
aren't delivered.

Anyway, I'm just blabbing, cuz your problem must be different.
