Google would rather not have any vandalism in their index, but that's
not the point. They care about the reindexing schedule. If we create
sitemaps that also note the recent velocity of changes, the vandal's
edits in a sense work against themselves. Every new change brings new
scrutiny.
If you use the protocols they understand, and they think you're a high
priority, Google can update their index at a rather fearsome speed. A
new link can be in the #1 position before you can finish typing a tweet.
Generally this is not the bottleneck.

Okay, you both are about to enter into a mini-flamewar, so can we just
agree that "who decides what vandalism is" is generally a settled
question at Wikipedia, and opening a post with "if you understand the
issue" is a little bit aggressive?
