Thanks :-)   No, not all of them, but most.  The older ones were done
with the 'original' ptpicker, but one (Roque) I redid meanwhile with
hugin.  Especially the easy interface to the optimizer is such a great
help when trying to find the best fit.

So you think of re-reading them from disk again?  Might of course
work, too.  And probably add some intelligence to check what is in
memory already, as normally you go through the image pairs in steps
and one of the next pair is in memory already.
(and kick me if I'm doing too obvious remarks....)
