Large installations with several thousand hosts/folders suffered from a decreased performance when navigating through the folder hierarchy or when displaying rulesets. Furthermore, the global settings option Hide folders without read permissions made the entire setup system virtually unusable for non-admin users. Some of the data is now cached via Redis, which reduces needless calculations and file parsing.
