John--
I haven't been able to try out your suggestions; the problem had mysteriously
gone away. I am using XML storage. Interestingly, when I load Gnucash, I see in
Activity Monitor that 60% of my CPU utilization is taken up by notifyd. Once
the Loading User Data prompt passes, this drops down to .2%.
