Genuine question: Would the caching/reindexing have been different between the later beta releases and the final release? Would those incremental beta releases not have triggered the process each time? If not, then this explanation makes sense, though the one thing that doesn’t make sense is that I’m still seeing lower life after a full week.
Regardless, it seems like a nuke and pave is probably in order to see if that corrects the issue.
Agreed. This is a good idea overall, but the implementation smells like a bailout of commercial real estate developers to me.
