Hi, I've been using GnuCash for a number of years. I especially like how it can handle foreign currencies - a feature that the commercial software packages tend to charge extra for.
But a continual annoyance is how slow GnuCash is at these operations: 1. Starting up (Takes more than a minute) 2. Quitting (Takes a long time) 3. Importing new transactions from CSV files (Easily a couple of minutes for modest imports). I'm running GnuCash on Fedora Linux. Version: 4.5 (27th March 2021 build) Hardware: i5 Dell ultrabook, 8Mbyte RAM. Backend: SQLite database Database size: About 36 Megabytes on an SSD drive. Is there any quick tips to speed things up? Or should I just throw more hardware at it (Ryzen7 desktop or something similar)? When running top, I see gnucash tends to be CPU bound when it is performing these slow tasks. Another problem I have is GnuCash crashes when importing transactions in CSV format. I have to restrict the CSV files to about 100 kilobytes when importing, otherwise GnuCash will crash on me. After I've imported a 100 kilobyte file, I need to close GnuCash and restart it to import the next one. This smells a bit like a memory leak to me. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.
