portindex is run at 0045 right?  The checkin always seems to happen around
0052, hence my 7-8 minute guess.  Running it here on my local repo, watching
top, it does take up some CPU (>50% of a core), so I wasn't sure how
intensive it might be on the server, nor how big of an effect its intensity
would be on the server.

If it isn't that bad of a load, we could definitely bump it up to four to
six times a day instead of twice, as a help to upgrade, etc, commands which
use the index; until a better indexing solution is put in place.
