Yes - it avoids a huge start up hit compiling the scripts. Once you get up to the 14,000+ script mark, on a P4 2.4, the time to "compile" the scripts into p-code takes upwards of 30 seconds CPU time alone (taken by just looking at "ps" on an initial sans-cache startup). You don't want to be removing the .desc cache. Fix it, or as Bernhard suggested, invalidate the cache if a .inc file changes - that's all fine if more fine grained fixes are too much of a pain. But a wholesale removal I think needs to be avoided.
