It was hard over the last months to see a pattern in FAST's update cycles. In fact it was hard to see cycles...
Now that's not surprising, given the massive 150% growth of the index over the last quarter, from some 800 Mill to more than 2 Bill pages.

Before this massive expansion, FAST aimed at refresh cycles of 9 - 12 days.

A new press release [fast.no] claims a complete update every 7 - 11 days. If FAST could meet that, it surely would put them ahead significantly of the competition.

Will be interesting to see if this holds true.
