The speed of opening lists or changing focus with Accent turned on
depends heavily on what the accent specifications are. With a large
dataset like you have, and using a filter of that calls for calculation
of a relationship every time you change screens, as this does, will take
a lot of time. You can't fix this right now in TMG 5.04, but when the
List of People report is available, you can. What you will need to do is
create a custom Flag that shows the relationship you want, and then use
it for the Accent. Since the flag will have been already calculated, the
Accent feature will work much more quickly.
