Converting 6.5.2 maps to 6.7.1.

I have an MSD file with one Event map. This Event map executes a runmap not included in the msd. If I made a change to the runmap in 6.5.2 it was automatically picked up the next time the event kicked off. In 6.7.1 that same runmap change isn't acknowledged until the msl file is redeployed.

Is this new in 6.7.1 or am I missing something?

Run map caching was introduced in 6.7. Setting is in the mercator.ini:
;use the following to define the max number of RUN maps to be cached in the memory
;default value is 300, minimum value is 10
;set this value to -1 to disable RUN map caching
;RunMapCacheMaxNum=300

I have a few thoughts of my own, what would you say are the pros and cons of runmap caching?

my thought is speed. if you do not cache, each time the run map is called, it'll be taxed the I/O to load the map from disk. if cached, it is just referenced from memory.
