When the client receives a database update, it will stat every single possible NCF file for any game on steam, even ones the user does not own ‐ which seems a bit redundant.

Didn’t mean to see it, but was running strace -e trace=file -p 'pidof steam' and forgot about it.

This is part of the old content system that is going to be turned off in the next few months, so this will fix itself over time.

Was just checking this bug as #2954 prompted me to look again.

From a newly started client, running steam steam://open/console will make the client do the same as above, iterate over any possibly installed app in the db.
Is that a code-path that got forgotten about?

To note, its looking in the old username location that no longer exists for games that I can install.
