In the case where a commit comes in that adds multiple pages, that would be a lot of work. And for the VCSs where it's not slow, it manages to not be slow by optimising for the case where *all* the times for all pages are looked up in one go .. which is still rather a lot to do when only a single new page has been added. So we lose either way, and it's not suitable for being run all the time, unfortunately. +"""]] -- 2.45.2
