Comment 2 for bug 1456797

Good to hear! Thanks for investigating. Downgraded the priority of this as a result. I actually reported this as the outcome of a summit conversation with Adam Young- neither of us were aware that they were already being purged.

I guess that presents another potential issue, though. If DELETEs are being emitted on every list_events(), does that cause a negative performance impact or unnecessary load on the database? The benefit of the current implementation, I assume, is that the controller is far less likely to emit expired events. Events are intended to be relatively rare, though, so incredibly frequent DELETEs should be unnecessary.
