I think someone told me that the very first time you open a data file
with the 2.6.x family of releases after using older releases, GnuCash
does some extra stuff to set up certain things and to check and possibly
correct some subtle errors that may have crept into your file in the
past due to bugs in previous releases.  Thus it may take a lot longer
time to open the the very first data file after the update than you are
used to.  After that, it probably will run faster than before.  I know
that release 2.6.5 is noticeably faster in Windows 7 than release 2.4.13
was before.

If it seems to be working OK now, that may have been what you saw earlier.
