Hi, About a month ago an issue was discovered with the persistent XML cache: it was corrupting cached copies of gadgets. Since this particular piece of code is going away anyway, it was deemed best to disable it. The upside to this is that the sometimes long caching period is now a maximum of about two hours. The downside is that your servers will take a bigger bandwidth hit because the cache expires more frequently.
Also, the persistent cache acted as a form of buffer between iGoogle and the potential errors in the gadget fetching process. For instance, if your gadget had expired from cache, the persistent cache would serve the old copy instead. Now, the user will see an error. The short story is that this problem should go away on its own as we roll out the new system.
