Just as with Paul Lathrops case, the performance degradation is
something perceived by the application developers.  We haven't had time
to actually verify reliably that the performance is actually beeing
degraded, neither that the reload beeing done helps (after we resolved
the pending transaction issue, anyway), nor look into what the possible
reasons of this percieved degradation could be.
