Program hangs on Report Net Worth

[David Carlson]

I think that it got much slower sometime early in the 2.6 series of program
releases, particularly for some of the reports and particularly in Windows
OS.  It seems that the program mostly single threads even with
multiprocessor PCs in Windows.

It seems to run substantially faster in Linux, at least with my data file
