As far as I remember the sync only happens once a day. Depending on when the dump creation finishes, this means it showing up on labs can be severely delayed. If the dumps not being up to date is an issue, I'd rather suggest to just do two dumps a week, dump creation is cheap.
Cheers,

Marius

That's alright, I was not actually worried about slow dump generation.
What I noticed was that the dumps are available online many hours before
they appear on Labs. I would like to use the central dump on labs
instead of downloading my own copy each time, but right now this delays
dump processing further. I was wondering who is providing the central
entity dumps on labs.

Adam, Marius: Do either of you know why there is this delay and if there is anything we can do about it?

Cheers
Lydia
