Currently, we have 14 automatic profile updates an hour. With 33000 registered users, this means that every profile gets a look every 100 days. This delay becomes longer if some profiles get works automatically added. So it is in reality probably closer to 120 days. One could argue that this is too long. I have had a few people ask whether we stopped sending emails when new works are found. I suppose this is because the delays are becoming long (and I hope APU is not missing people, that would be an entirely different issue). So my question is: can we afford to increase the number of hourly APUs? Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
