John - I see no aqi_source in the weectl debug the o.p. sent me. He must be running whatever the default is unless he edited skin.conf to set it there.
There is no mention of aqi_source nor its options anywhere in the wiki or instructions that I can find. It 'is' buried and set to 'auto' in skin.conf with no commentary at all.

What changed is the gating: a new aqi_source option (auto / local / forecast), with the archive path running only when local_aqi_enabled = aqi_enabled and aqi_source in (“auto”, “local”) aqi_source defaults to “auto” — which is in that tuple. On defaults, beta4 still runs the scans. So: which did you set? If you set aqi_source = forecast, that explains your speedup, and the bug remains live for anyone on defaults with a big database. If you’re on auto and it’s still fast, my diagnosis is incomplete and something else in beta4 deserves credit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
