[GNC] 4.4 slow

Running GnuCash 4.4 on Big Sur 11.2, seems about the same except the save
time has blown out by about a factor of 10 (i.e. from a few seconds to
about 30-40 seconds), whereas Ubuntu and Win 10 are as speedy as ever.  I
put it down to something in Big Sur - I have issues with my Logitech mouse
as well when it starts to get all jittery and stop responding for half a
second or so here and there. Maybe time for a system re-install, been
putting it off as it's a lot of work :-(

Cheers David H.
