If you set up a cron job to regenerate the page twice a day (so it's
never older that a day), does that help things?

Unfortunately not..... because the generate_views takes several days to
complete (160,000+ records, all multiple-authors - "several" is a BIG
number) then the view is out of date before its even finished!

can't you just delete them every day, early in the morning? In this way,
they're regenerated upon request, thus always updated at the current day.
Surely that's no different to either letting them auto-generate, or doing a "generate_views"?
(the problem is not the regeneration.... but the fact that EPrints seems to spend 4 minutes in a tight loop, having spent 9 seconds slurping every single author out the database...
