In any case, I scheduled the script I spoke of earlier, to run once an hour on
the profile server. Have a hunch the remaining prf-files might have been an
artefact due to manual tweaking or something. Will keep the script running
(scheduled) for a while and see if more prf-files will accumulate. I'll report
back in a few days.
