a) Will be fixed next beta

e) There was a bug in the update program
it shouldn't take hours, minutes at the most - because very little will happen until you run the first "cluster" after updating. The automated update on startup (in b15) fixes a couple of indexes only. The altered "cluster",
this will take a long time, but hopefully less than before. And it should make things significantly faster.
Official responses are confused it would seem, since the most recent private alpha version would run the new "cluster" on startup, and convert the databases. This doesn't happen in beta 15, it waits until you choose to "cluster" before running the lengthy procedure.
