My data file is so big that it seems to tie up 1.5 gigs of Ram or more when open, so most of my computers cannot run a web browser simultaneously with GnuCash without using swap space and grinding down to a crawl. Even on my highest performance machines it takes several seconds to save but I usually do it before starting any activity that will take more than a few minutes.
