When you start robag play with huge bag files or a lot of bag files for the first call usually is takes some time until rosbag actually starts publishing. For repeative calls then it starts publishing quite fast, until something I don't know (reboot?, unmount bag storage device? timeout?) happens. I guess rosbag caches an index file somewhere to make repeative plays faster. What causes it to discard this index file? Is there a way to store this index file and point rosbag play to it in other for speeding up play e. g. first time after system boot?
