newsite days on page

[Christopher.Short at abare.gov.au]

Several of the manila sites I run appear to have started to ignore the 'number of news days that should appear on the home page pref'
 
The setting is on the 'appearance' page under prefs.
 
Checking the item in the roots (in [manilasite].["#newsSite"].numNewsDaysToRender) shows the setting as correct.
 
But the number of newsdays rendered on the homepage can go back months...and this makes loading time very slow.
 
In fact, it was the slow loading that led to the discovery.
 
Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be going on here?
 
cheers,
Christopher
