no, i think the intention was not using a database from the old boot 
when the system restarted. with the correct logic in the script, there's 
a way to make it default i think.

You pinpointed the problem of why it's not on by default.
I think i investigated using the absolute boot time (which i can't 
remember where it is in proc) and compare the database mtime, but I 
can't remember if it came to any conclusion.
