We plan to.
a) Cache event signatures for seen events.
b) Move this processing to post cache.
   Which means it is only applied when the event is on its way to the DB.

Strictly speaking that's true.
Currently it's a simplified implementation of this, where we visit the 
channels in an order where we change to a different mplex each time
while still managing to visit every channel (since not everywhere has
as good EIT data as the UK)

see EITScanner::StartActiveScan() if you are interested.
