Interesting. I also know that GnuCash scales well, I guess I didn't 
realize _how_ well.

My only current issue with that is getting Advanced Portfolio report to 
not calculate from the start of accounts but from a given date. Is there 
a way to achieve that? If not, I have a feeling (maybe a naive one) that 
it won't be too hard to implement, even for me: GnuCash would just need 
to calculate the account value at that given state and use that as basis.

Yes, the problem went away for me too.
