Wow! Now that I've taken a look in the Media Cache Files folder on my 
portable drive, I've discovered that Premiere has wasted over 29 
gigabytes of space by keeping old versions of conformed audio, audio 
peak files, and indexed video files on the disk each time it 
re-configures or re-indexes.

That's *really* dumb! Not only has Premiere found the previous 
versions of the files so it could renumber the new files accordingly, 
but it completely ignored them and ground through everything once 
again. Then it left all the old ones in place to eat up disk space.

I just removed all the old versions, fired up the project, and it 
runs just find without re-configuring or re-indexing.

Some Adobe engineer somewhere has a lot of explaining to do.
