By default, when running SequenceServer.init i.e. when starting the web server or runninc CLI commands, it will scan the entire database_dir entries to find databases that use older (v4) version or have been created without parse_seqids. If this is the case it will log a warning. If all databases are formatted correctly and the user knows it, running SequenceServer with --optimistic can have a significant impact on reducing startup times. With vast databse directories this can be in tens of seconds. This is because parse_seqids in particular does a lot of IO calls to scan database directories to determine if seqids metadata files are missing for each database.

I think this also constitutes a 2.2.0 gem release
