From the dim and distant past I recollect that reducing the archive
period from say a month to a week for lists that were challenged in
this way could help.
Also, the following link is to a patch that was incorporated into MM

modification to the MM 2.0.11 code base but it would probably be much
easier to do the upgrade to 2.1.5:
