[GNC] Archiving transactions

[David Carlson]

There is a setting under Edit > Preferences > General to compress the data
file.  I think it is selected by default.  In Windows 10 compression
happens very fast so that is not likely to be an issue with speed.

However, because the entire database is [theoretically] in RAM, at some
point that will cause RAM to spill over into swap space on the local
drive.  Then things really slow down.  This will happen more quickly if a
web browser is running concurrently.  In Windows open the Task Manager and
look under performance to see how your machine is doing.
