Investigate speed issues with dumping transactions from ledger

[lohanspies]

The current implementation is very slow to dump ledger data. Thanks to Andrew for providing an update that sped up the process, however, it is still very slow and gets even slower the more transactions should be extracted from the ledger.

When running from the cmd line in a for loop the transaction extraction time stays consistent, but when doing it through the loops in the script it consistently gets slower. Telling me there is something in the implementation that locks up processing causing the slowness.
