[GNC] GnuCash performance issue on larger accounts

[John Ralls]

That’s been reported as https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799670. It seems to have been due to something in Mingw64 that’s since been corrected and users have reported that it’s not a problem on nightly builds (from https://code.gnucash.org/build/win32/stable) after October 25 so I suggest that you try that.

Towards the end of the year, the most active account currently have 950 transactions over the past year and GnuCash is visibly struggling when I input transactions there. Is this to be expected? Should I break up files more, e.g. biannually?
