How is your system memory? GnuCash loads all the data in memory (even if you use the SQL backend) so it needs some room to breathe. I have easily ten years of data in my file (and I categorize and track everything at a level that few people would, so I have *lots* of splits), and I don’t experience the slowness or scrolling issues that you mention. But then I have 32 GB of memory. The problems you describe sound like what I would expect of memory was low and the system was using swap space a lot.
