For a node with large number of channels and long history of inactivity it becomes slow to synchronize the state from the blockchain. A simple optimization is to not calculate a diff for an old block hash for which the diff was calculated before. For a node with 200 channels this will lead to a drop in the number of diffs needed from 200 to just a few.
