Came back from lunch and the daemon was started. I haven't seen this long
startup before.

Does BPC do some house-cleaning each time the daemon starts? 

The web-GUI for BPC is rather slow now too, for some reason. Needs caching
stuff? 

Uptime was 76d since last reboot, though I doubt that matters.
