    I've used Quicken since around 2002.

    I've always had problems with it being slow on almost everything; updating a register, switching from one register to another, etc.

    It is no slow only if I have very few entries in my register. So, January I create new "accounts" and start them with the ending balance of the previous year. But getting close to the end of this year, it is really slow again. I think it got slower in the last half of Sept 2024.

    I've looked for other softward that would let me track my accounts in the format of a checkbook register. I could never find one I liked the same. When Intuit first separated Quicken out of itself, Quicken seemed to have a lot more function problems. But, I decided to stay with them and give the sofrware engineers a chance to smooth things out. I was pleased for a long time.

    Recently, it is really slow again. :p
