The inactive time stamps are available again in the "wip-agenda-speedup" branch. Make sure to delete any local branch and start anew if you tried it already. Also make sure to clear the cache, e.g., restarting the Emacs session. >From now on, there will be no more rebasing on that branch, only regular commits. Feedback still very welcome.
