If you're hoping that the db version is going to load faster, you should probably abandon that. As I have been told, the startup for the db isn't faster because Gnucash still loads the entire file into memory at startup. Saves are instant, though.

It is mainly to get around the long load times and stalls on autosaves 
for v3.x. But having it (sequentially) accessible from multiple PCs is 
an interesting bonus.

I will have it accessible on WAN through an SSH tunnel too, but I 
suspect that the performance might not be very good here, so definitely 
not a primary use case.
