250G 2.5" disk with platters in a plastic USB2 enclosure. I've got about the
same amount of data in my ~ and the 3-4 minute time is roughly how long a sync
took this morning. Adjust for your needs. gnucash retains some sort of
exclusive lock on some file in ~, though, so --delete-after doesn't work until
I quit gnucash. Oh, the huge manatee!
