[GNC] Fw: Upcoming report deprecation

[Christopher Lam]

These benchmarks are always useful. Would you mind describing
characteristics of your books? e.g. number of accounts, number of
currencies/commodities, approx no.transactions etc? I'm sure 3.5
average-balance should be faster than prior versions.

This may be moot if average-balance will be hidden soon, but IMHO the
networth linechart taking 1minute is still an interesting issue and I'd be
keen to know why.
