Unnecessary Iray images caching on every project load
Since the release of IC8, the routine for caching Iray images has changed.
In IC7, project load routine would only cache Iray images if the Iray Render Setting window is opened.
Otherwise, if Iray window was closed during the project load and you bring it up later on, the caching process would start at that moment.

Not the case in IC8. It would start caching Iray images regardless on all projects opening.
I rarely use Iray and keep Iray Settings window closed. But on heavily textured projects, the caching takes a long time on opening and a lot of disk space.
And then I suppose it does refresh Iray cache every time I change something. Extremely inefficient and unnecessary. Should be reverted back to IC7 way.

Same goes to CC 4 as well...

Agree. For this reason I don't even install the Iray plugin.
