Well just as the topic says, it is very annoying that my Bitcoin wallet needs to reindex the whole database each time I start it up. This takes hours!
I have made some experiences with some other coins, and I noticed that all wallets that offer to "Detach databases at shutdown" in the configuration settings do not have this problem. So I guess when this is set, before quitting the program there is some flushing or closing of all files (didn't look into the source code, so this is just my assumption).

If my assumption is correct, then enabling this setting in the Bitcoin client would be very helpful. Does anyone know whether this is planned? Would surely help the few Win 8.1 users around here...
