I've been working on porting smart playlists to the trunk codebase,
and started noticing startup time getting longer because the cache for
each source is regenerated on startup.

I've got a patch nearly ready that creates a new table CoreCacheModels
with CacheId, ModelId columns where ModelId is a unique string across
various source models (library, playlists, etc), and the CacheId is
the foreign key used in the CoreCache table, just like before.  This
means we can start up much faster, have the exact sort/filter you had
when you shut down pretty much instantly, etc.
