That would be great! The public repo is at

So the behavior that Mike outlined is generally correct. Although it has 
to be said that there were times where a single sweep through all 
repositories took about half an hour (now about 5 minutes), so the 
button was rarely effective back then. During the last few weeks, that 
task starvation bug also frequently caused the queue to stall for about 
2 hours, so that could be another reason. But apart from that, I usually 
get instant updates in maybe about 95% of the cases.
