Program hangs on Report Net Worth

[WPG]

Thanks Davids,
I mentioned that I’m using the “current version” but should have specified: 2.6.18 released on 2017-10-08.
As to the OS, again the filespec was a part-giveaway (C:\Users\NAME\.gnucash), but I should have mentioned Windows 10 Pro, 64bit.
As to ‘hanging’ OK. I should have said “temporarily hanging’ or the like!
I don’t recall having this problem with the previous 2.6 version I was using. Everything loaded quickly.
Your comments are helpful, so thanks for taking the time to respond.
Cheers,
Peter G

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

Hello Peter,

You don't say which version you are trying, or which operating system. It's also not clear whether you had run this report in an earlier version without delays.I

I will note, however, that what you are describing isn't technically "hanging", since the program continues to function. What you are observing is the time it takes to run that report. I have seen several reports (for example, the barchart report) that take minutes to run. This is, I have been told, a result of flawed report program logic. While it is certainly annoying, I haven't done anything about it, in large part because I am not a programmer. I believe I submitted a bug about the barchart report, since it is so painfully slow. I imagine that the line chart report uses similarly flawed logic.

Dear All,

Since installing the current version of Gnucash, I've noticed a problem that
might be just a coincidence.

With the app set to open with just the Account Register showing, there is no
problem. It opens normally.

But if I try to create a "Reports/Assets & Liabilities/Net Worth Linechart,"
the program hangs for about a minute before resuming. Same thing occurs if I
save with this Report open (on the tab bar), then re-open the app.

I've tried saving the file to a new location, using Save-As. Same thing.

I've tried deleting the saved-reports-2.4 file and backup from
C:\Users\NAME\.gnucash. Same thing.

Can anyone suggest a way forward?

Regards,

Peter G
