Subject: Re: preventing automatic rebuild of agenda on refiling?

>>>> I may have missed when this happened or if it's been discussed already, but I'm noticing that recent Org-mode automatically rebuilds the agenda each time I refile a task. This can dramatically slow down the process of refiling a lot of items. Is there a setting to change this?

But given that in my current workflow I refile scores of items during my daily prep... Ugh. I'm sure there was a good reason for the change, but it just doesn't suit how I've come to use Org-mode.

Fantastic. I can experiment with adapting my workflow, but this is so useful. Deeply appreciated.
