Can someone add this feature? the ability for it to sleep for x number of seconds after importing y number of pages? and we can set them in it... What is "HTH, IRL." anyway?

In my experience, it adds a new revision if the timestamp on the dump XML is more recent than the timestamp on the existing page. Otherwise it ignores the import.
