Critical changes? No... I wasn't thinking of that. If, however, more and
more people are going to get involved and start contributing pages,
comments, etc. to the site, then doing (for example) four tiny updates from
the main site (say, one 10-second rsync transaction every 6 hours) is
really no more work than doing it all once a day, but two good things happen:
a) The odd connectivity problem which prevents one sync job from
completing leaves you with a shorter "outdated" interval.
b) Even small changes propagate more quickly.
The cost (human, computational, and transport) of doing rsync every 6 hours
instead of every 24 is exceedingly small, I think. Especially with the low
volume of changes, as you noted.
