I'm pretty sure Nathan is talking about the publically available mbox
files, which are updated by rsync on a schedule. I don't recall exactly how
often.

However - Nathan, I'd suggest you don't focus too hard on that. As I said

get the data, in which case they will be instant as Alvaro says. Some delay
during testing should not be a problem, I hope.
