[GNC] GNUCash becoming unusable ..v3.4

[Jeff Abrahamson]

You might try the sqlite backend, that at least avoids the heavier XML
autosaves.  After making sure the needed sqlite3 libraries are
installed, it's a simple save-as (and don't forget to specify in the now
present dropdown menu what format you want).

If you're willing to tinker in python some day, it also gives you access
to that.
