A complete run of this process takes less than 15 minutes. And as I have 
pointed out elsewhere that could be reduced substantially by skipping 
certain steps. It's as simple as changing the command line in the 
crontab entry.

The only reason there is a significant delay is that the administrators 
have chosen not to run the process more than once every 4 hours. That's 
a choice not dictated by the process they are using, but by other 
considerations concerning the machine it's being run on. Since I am not 
one of the admins and don't really want to take responsibility for it I 
am not going to second guess them. On the very rare occasions when I 
absolutely have to have the totally up to date docs I build them myself 
- it takes about 60 seconds on my modest hardware.
