Hi,

  Semantic ought to always load files from disk instead of re-parsing
everything each time.  If it is not loading old files, it could be
because there is a bug in the writer or loader.  Look in the
*Messages* buffer to see if it says:

  "Cache Error: ... Restart"

  If so, then there is some problem saving the caches.  Bugs like that
pop up once in a while where overlays are not converted into something
you can save to a text file, though I have no reproducible cases for
that right now.  A good way to check is to open one of the
semantic.cache files and search for the character "#", and see if it
says "#<overlay ..." somewhere.  If so, this is the problem, and if
you can figure out which file has the issue, we can start debugging
it.

  There might also be some problem on Windows with save/load I am
unaware of since I don't use that platform.  If you familiar with
Emacs Lisp, and EDEBUG, you can use them to debug
`semanticdb-load-database' and then see what it does when it attempts
to load a file.
