[GNC] 4.4 slow

And on that note, it is always recommended when stepping between major 
versions to run Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All. (which 
should accomplish such data translations all in one go)

I forgot to add that I'm using the SQLite backend. Not sure if that 
makes a difference.

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.
