I'd be really interested in hearing the experience of anyone who's tried both formats.

I'm just starting with GnuCash, after upgrading my Mac from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to El Capitan (10.11) and thereby losing my old Quicken.  So far, so good.

But - in switching, I imported 19 years of transactions, and startup time is very slow.  If there's an easy way to speed this, I'd love to know about it!

Thanks,
