I switched from XML to SQLite about a year ago. I perceive a performance improvement on loading, but that’s about it. (and I generally never shut the app down anyway)
I haven’t attempted any custom reporting yet, but I plan to.
I could be mistaken, but I think PyCash is designed to parse the XML file so you can still get the reporting you want.
Regards,
Adrien
