We got a decent bit of traffic today on a new topic that was shared on Reddit. The view count reported for this topic under “Top Referred Topics” in `/admin` is more or less in line with what Google Analytics and Piwik report, but a much lower number (off by ~90%) is displayed on the topic index page for the topic’s category.

Is this normal? Are view counts on the front-end cached?
