It only compiles pages that have (a) been changed, (b) whose linkage
status has been changed (the ``Links:'' information at each page's
bottom) and (c) some cases I forgot.

The Hurd wiki is distributed over two Hurd system.  Please allow for some
delays in processing...  ;-)

Also, the web server is -- given today's standards -- a rather low-end
system.  Barry is working on getting some newer hardware in place.

If you need more speed, then use offline editing and ``git push &'' from
time to time.

This is because the edit frame only ``returnes'' until all ikiwiki stuff
has been done.  Which includes, e.g., updating the Recent Changes page,
which needs some time.  But at that time the edited page indeed has been
rendered already, so it is already available for browsing at that time.
