This versione runs better the 2.0.3, but an issue I see is that - even with 82800 seconds as the “Reports for today (or any other Date Range including today) will be processed at most every” - the widgets in the dashboard take a lot of time before they are presented. The delay is more than 30 seconds on a site which has 70 visits/day!
That should definitely not happen. For 70 visits the widgets should all load in less than 1-2 seconds. There must be some problem… Do you have other info?
Here is the beginning and the end of this night archive log, exited with no error:

Is it correct that when period = day there is no visit number reported?
It seems that a site’s dashboard doesnt’ take a long time if it has been loaded yesterday. The most visited site, which I check every day, takes 2 seconds
