The NCover database has been upgraded with an improved indexing scheme focused on overall speed. As part of the upgrade, all existing coverage data history will go through a one-time re-aggregation to benefit from the improvement. Re-aggregation can be done selectively against specific projects or executions or can be done across all data. Re-aggregation and aggregation methods also reflect a new ordering scheme to improve overall speed.
