I have also been experiencing the viewer caching issues.

I often experience the behavior where an incorrect image will get "stuck"
in the viewer's cache, so if you are looking through a certain node on a
certain frame and this happens, even if you change knobs in the viewed
node, the changes won't update in the viewer. You will wonder what's
happening, zoom out or go to the next frame, and then suddenly see the
changes you made take effect again. Then if you come back to the original
frame, the stuck cache will still be displaying.

Sometimes this happens with scanlines too, so if you are zoomed out and
calculate the view, you then zoom in and change some knob values, and then
the scanlines that were calculated when you were zoomed out won't update,
but the new scanlines that were calculated after you zoomed in will
calculate.

Needless to say this is very annoying, and seems to happen mostly in
heavier scripts, and perhaps more when working of of network storage over
an nfs mount.

I have noticed increased memory usage inefficiency and DAG slowdown in
heavier scripts also. One recent example was a pretty big shot that had a
ton of nodes. It was getting to the point in Nuke 8.0v4 where just
navigating the node graph and opening control panels would cause
beachballing and freezing, stalling, and pretty common crashes. The script
wasn't using any Nuke8 specific nodes, so I went back to Nuke 7.0v10 for
this shot and things were fast and stable and interactive again.

Just circumstantial experiences, but hopefully the situation improves soon!
