[GNC] 4.4 slow

[David Reiser]

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but version 4 made some significant changes to (I think) a number of key-value structures in the database. The first time you open version 4, it has to convert all the old values (if you have done lots of transaction importing, that’s a big contributor). If you quit gnucash before it’s done with the conversion, it  has to start over the next time. I think it took something like 45 minutes before my Mac was done updating everything internally in the database. 

After that it has been fine.
