Hi,

you must have activated "semantic", part of "cedet":

"Semantic is an infrastructure for parser based text analysis in Emacs. It is a
lexer, parser-generator, and parser. It is written in Emacs Lisp and is
customized to the way Emacs thinks about language files, and is optimized to use
Emacs' parsing capabilities."

       http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml

>From the documentation:

Semantic database provides caching of the parse trees by saving them
into files named `semantic.cache' automatically then loading them when
appropriate instead of re-parsing.  The reason for this is to save the
time it takes to parse a file which could take several seconds or more
for large files.
