Are you certain that the initial rebuild of the database was completed before

Checking the indexes seems to happen frequently, but fortunately doesn't take 
long, here.  As soon as someone has sorted out why the server is impossibly

that they are already working on it - whether by scheduling, as I'd like to 
see, or some other means of quietening it.
