Trust me, the cache logic is really optimized not to rebuild it unless
necessary. There are several edge cases that may not be immediately
obvious.  For instance, if the RPM database modification has changed,
Smart can't reuse the whole cache (it will use good part of it, though,
but will update it).

I'd like to see it too.  Any takers?
