For what it's worth, this was a worry of mine, but I have over 8 years in
the XML format and haven't had any performance issues. The startup may be
slowing (about 3-4 seconds; doing a save is similar), but entering
transactions is speedy. This is an an iMac, using the Intel version of
GnuCash and accessing the GnuCash file on my NAS over SMB.  My windows
machine is a little slower - say 5-6 seconds for load/save.  It is speedy
on Linux, as it is an NFS mount.

I'd say it is scaling extremely well.
