Yes, I was looking at the ledger code. From what I've noticed (I could 
be wrong though..), it looks like all the editing form widgets are 
created on the spot or moved around, instead of being unhidden as 
necessary. Right after double-clicking an entry to edit, there's a 
noticeable spike in CPU usage (especially if you double-click/press 
Escape a few times to edit/cancel). On my machine, I can even see some 
widgets disappearing/reappearing (looks like a screen wipe effect)

Hope this helps. I'll try to look at the code some more when I have some 
time. Maybe after brushing up on C++ - haven't used it in a few years :)
