    Change the favicon file name if you have the capability. Eg from favicon.ico to favicon-v2.ico or something like that. It will still take an annoying amount of time after doing this but will speed things up from months to weeks. Favicons are cached aggressively for long periods of time by Google and browsers. Not sure why.
