this is a good point! we shall look at it! it might need some deep
changes, but sooner or later it will show its usefulness, in my opinion.

you might be right, but it look to me as a theoretic "threat". let's
agree that if one has THAT many assets, he certainly has much more
invoices, etc, so proportions would be still ok. however, i agree that i
did not test such a scenario. still, I would say that speed is not (yet)
a strength overall, in this system!
