I disagree.  The nice thing about the current situation is that you
get a performance boost automatically.  It's the whole reason it's
done automatically: we don't want to tell people 'your system is slow
because you haven't run some odd command'.  We want it to work the
best it can doing what it needs to do.  I'd happily consider a number
of other solutions, including putting index files potentially
somewhere else, but I'm not at all happy with requiring an extra
command to make things efficient.
