Hello Tim and thank you very much for your reply.

I know that regarding performance, having a mature cache is preferable to having no cache at all by a large margin. But I have also noticed that having to build your cache up from scratch seems to bepreferable to having a large stale cache. After clearing our cache, performance for some activities increased from 3-5 minutes to about 10 seconds loading time.

This might however depend on the type of database used for caching (ours is a MariaDB), others might perform better with large caching tables. Plus improving the directory structure will probably speed things up, too.
