### Why does NzbDrone refresh series information so frequently? ###
NzbDrone refreshes series and episode information in addition to rescanning the disk for files every 12 hours. This might seem aggressive, but is a very important process. The data refresh from trakt is important, because new episode information is synced down, air dates, number of episodes, status (continuing/ended). Even shows that aren't airing are being updated with new information.
The disk scan is less important, but is used to check for new files that weren't sorted by NzbDrone and detect deleted files.
The most time consuming portion is the information refresh (assuming reasonable disk access speed), larger shows take longer due to the number of episodes to process.
